--------------------------------------
Two numbers are
--------------------------------------

x and y, these two numbers


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
such that if 11 is added to the first number, a number twice the second number is obtained.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

x%2B11=2y


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If 20 is added to the second number, the number obtained is twice the first number.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

y%2B20=2x

Solve this system of equations: system%28x%2B11=2y%2C2x=y%2B20%29
