Question 1050341: jack is thinking of two numbers. The sum of twice the first and three times the second is 9. the difference of the first number and the second number is 22. find the numbers. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x + 3y = 9
x - y = 22
|
2x+ 3y = 9 3x -3y = 66
5x = 75
x = 15 and y = -7
Checking
2x + 3y = 9
30- 21 = 9 CHECKS!
