Question

How do you find two numbers such that the first number added to three times the second is 31, while three times the first less twice the second is 16?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

so as per the question directed the two equations formed are

x + 3 y =31.........(i)

3 x - 2 y =16......(ii)

solving the equations we get x=10

                                                 y=7
