THANKS IN ADVANCE! Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = one number
y = another number
.
x + y = 20
x = 20 - y
.
6y - 2x = 48
.
6y -2(20 -y) = 48
6y - 40 +2y = 48
8y -40 = 48
8y = 88
y = 11
.
substitute
.
x = 20-y
x = 9
.
Always check the solution.
.
6(11) -2(9) = ?
66 -18 = 48
Correct.
.
Answer: The two numbers are 9 and 11.
