Question

The sum of two numbers is 26. If one of the number is 2 more than twice the other. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

8, 18

Step-by-step explanation:

let us assume one number is x and the other y

Given:-

x + y = 26     ------------------     1

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

so substituting y value in the equation 1 we get

x + 2x + 2 = 26

3x = 24

x = 8

So one number is 8

By substituting value of x in equation 2 we get

y = 18

so the two numbers are 8 and 18
