Answer:


A = 2B


A + B = 25

Explanation:

Given

The first statement implies that:


X = A + B i.e the components of X

Reading further, we have:


X = 45 ---- The mass of X


A = 2B --- The relationship between
A\ and\ B

Required

Two equations to represent the scenario

The two equations are:


A = 2B --- The relationship between
A\ and\ B


X = A + B i.e the components of X

Substitute 25 for X in the second equation


25 = A + B


A + B = 25

So, the equations are:


A = 2B


A + B = 25
