Question

The sum of two numbers is 41 one number is two more than the other number what is the larger number?

Answer 1

Larger number = 21.5

Explanation:

One number = x

Larger number = x + 2

x + x +2 = 41

2x + 2 = 41

2x = 41 - 2

2x = 39

x = 39/2

x = 19.5

Larger number = x + 2

= 19.5 +2

= 21.5
