Correct

95 and 40

Let the large number be x and the small number be y

Then difference of two numbers =x−y=45 ----- (1)

The larger number is 5 more than 2 times the smaller number: x=5+2y ------ (2)

Put the value of x in equation (1) Then,

5+2y−y=45

y=45−5

y=40

Now substitute the value of y in equation (1)

x−40=45

x=45+40

x=95

Therefore the numbers are 95 and 40.

Answer 2

Answer:

63
