whats the difference of double a number and triple another number is 14 the sum of the first number and triple the second number is -11 find the two numbers.
--------
Let the number be "x"::
2x - 3y = 14
x + 3y = -11
----------
Add and solve for "x"::
3x = 3
x = 1
--------
Solve for "y"::
x + 3y = -11
1 + 3y = -11
3y = -12
y = -4
