You can put this solution on YOUR website! Twice one number is four more than 3 times another. Their difference is 3. Find the numbers
-----
Equations:
2x = 3y+2
x-y = 3
----
x = y+3
---
Substitute and solve for "y":
2(y+3) = 3y+2
2y+6 = 3y+2
y = 4
-----
Solve for "x":
x = y + 3
x = 4+3 = 7

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The correct equations are 2x = 3y + 4 and = 3.
These would give two possible pairs of solutions:
(5,2) and (-13, -10).
