Question

The sum of two number is 40. If the smaller number is doubled,it becomes 14 more than the larger number. Give the algebraic and graphical representation of the statement

Answer 1

Answer:

18, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the smaller number is x

Hence the larger number = 40 -x

When x is doubled

2x = (40-x)+14

Solving

2x = 40 -x +14

3x = 54

x =18
