You can put this solution on YOUR website! The difference between two numbers is 19. Half the larger number plus twice the smaller number is 12. What are the numbers?
This is the equation I came up with but I can't make it work.
x-y=19
1/2x+2y=12 x2 --> x + 4y = 24
----------
x - y = 19
x +4y = 24
------------ Subtract
-5y = -5
y = 1
x = 20
