Question

(1) Two numbers differ by 3. The sum of twice the smaller number and thri
the greater number is 19. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bigger number be x and smaller be y

x-y=3 ---------(1)

3x+2y=19 --------(2)

Substitute x = y+3 in (2)

3(y+3) +2y = 19

3y + 9 + 2y = 19

5y = 10

y = 2

x= 5
