Answer:
The sum of two number is 17.
Let numbers are x,y.
So x+y=17
Also suppose x is larger number and y is smaller number.
Twice the larger number is 2x and 3 times the smaller number is 3y.
Difference of 2x and 3y is 4. (Given in question)
2x-3y=4
From 1st equation we have x= 17–y
Put this value of x in 2nd equation 2x-3y=4
=> 2(17-y) -3y =4
=> 34–2y-3y =4
=> 34–5y=4
=> 34–4= 5y
=>30 =5y
Divide by 5.
=> y=6
Putting value of y in 1st equation that is x+y=17
=> x+6=17
=> x=17-6
=> x=11
So required numbers satisfying given conditions are 6,11.
