Question

The sum of two numbers is 20. The greater number is 4 more than three times the smaller number.

Answer 1

And x=12 are the two numbers.

Explanation:

x+y=20-----(1)

Let x be the larger number of the two.

x=2y-4

Hence 4=2y-x------(2)

Adding (1) and (2) we get 3y=24 so y=8

And x=12 are the two numbers.
