Problema Solution
The sum of two numbers is twice their difference. The larger number is 10 more than twice times the smaller. Find the numbers
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' and 'y' be the numbers and x>y
the sum of two numbers is twice their difference
x + y = 2(x - y)
the larger number is 10 more than twice times the smaller
x = 10 + 2y
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 2(x - y)
x = 10 + 2y
we find
x = 30
y = 10
