Question 516905: I don't know how I got this wrong....One number is two more than a second number. Five times the first is 11 less than 4 times the second. Find the numbers.
I came up with the following equations:
x=2+y
5*X=4*Y-11
The value of the second number is 21. Apparently, this was wrong.
The value of the first number is 23.
Please explain.
Thanks.
