Answer 2

Given :

• One number is twice a second number

• Five more than second number is same as the first number less than 5.

To find :

• The numbers

Solution :

Let us assume the second number as x and the first number we 2x.

• First number = x
• Second number = 2x

According to the question,

→ (The second number) + 5 = (First number) - 5

→ 2x + 5 = x - 5

→ Grouping the like terms :-

→ 2x - x = - 5 - 5

→ x = - 10

→ The value of x = - 10

Substitute the value of x in the numbers we've assumed :-

→ First number = x

→ First number = - 10

→ Second number = 2x

→ Second number = 2(10)

→ Second number = 20

Therefore, the two numbers are 10 and 20.
