SOLUTION: The sum of two numbers is 58. The second is 1 more than 2 times the first what are the two numbvers ok x+y= 58 = 2(x+1) +2y = 58= 2x + 2 +2y = 58 -2= 56 then 2x/2 = 56/2 x= 28 t

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1st number = x
2nd number =(2x+1)
x+(2x+1)=58
3x+1=58
3x=57
x=19
1st number = 19
2nd number = 39
Good luck!
