Question

The sum of two numbers is 74 of which the number is 5 more than double the other number, so find both numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

23 and 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x

Let other number be 2x + 5

∴ x + (2x + 5) = 74

3x + 5 = 74

3x = 69

∴x = 69/3  = 23

Thus, the numbers are : x = 23

and 2x + 5  =  46 + 5 = 51

Answer 2

Answer:  23 and 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be y

Let other number be 2y + 5

= y + (2y + 5) = 74

3y + 5 = 74

3y = 69

= y = 69/3  = 23

Thus, the numbers are : y = 23

, 2y + 5  =  46 + 5 = 51
