Question

The sum of two numbers is negative seven. The sum of twice the smaller number and seventy is six. Find both numbers

Answer 1

Let, the numbers = x, y

It is given that: x + y = -7
2x + 70 = 6
2x = 6 - 70
x = -64/2
x = -32

Substitute it in first equation:
-32 + y = -7
y = -7 + 32
y = 25

In short, Your Numbers are: -32 and 25

Hope this helps!
