Question

the larger number is 18 more than twice the smaller . if the sun of the numbers is 93 find both numbers

Answer 1

Answer: The numbers are 25 and 68.

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 68

y = 25

Explanation:

Let the larger number be x and smaller number be y.

Condition 1:

x = 18 + 2y ----------------(1)

Condition 2:

x + y = 93 -----------------(2)

Put Eq. (1) in Eq. (2)

18 + 2y + y = 93

18 + 3y = 93

Subtract 18 to both sides

3y = 93 - 18

3y = 75

Divide 3 to both sides

y = 72/3

y = 25

Put y = 24 in Eq. (1)

x = 18 + 2(25)

x = 18 + 50

x = 68

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
