Question

The sum of two numbers is −26. One number is 148 less than the other. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{Answer}$

The sum of two numbers is 148 means you add the two numbers together.

Let x and y be the two unknown numbers.

So x+y=148

The larger number is 16 more than twice the smaller number

y=16+2x 

SO your two equations are 

x+y=148

y=16+2x 

You can plug the second equation into the first equation.

x+16+2x=148

3x+16=148

3x=148-16

3x=132

x=132/3

x=44

So now you know x=44.

Just plug this into the first or second equation and you have your answer! Hope this helps!
