Question

The difference between two integers is 4, and twice the smaller integer is 2 more than the larger integer. Find the two integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The integers are 6 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the small integer be y , and the other integer be x

Now,

x - y = 4                                                                 - (1)

2y = x + 2 ⇒ 2y - x = 2                                         - (2)

Add both these equations : -

x - y + 2y - x = 6

y = 6

Now x - y = 4                                                         - from (1)

So x - 6 = 4

x = 6 + 4 ⇒ x = 10
