Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,if we consider larger one as x

Smaller one as y

So,1st equation is: x=2y

2nd equation is: 50-x=(40-y)+2

or, 50-x=40-y+2

or, 50-x=42-y

or, 50-2y=42-y

or , -2y+y=42-50

or, -y=-8

So, y=8

Then,by substituting the value of y into the 1st equation,we get :

x=2×8

So, x=16

So,numbers are 16,8
