You can put this solution on YOUR website! the sum of two numbers is 94
x + y = 94......1
the larger number is 5 less than twice the smaller number.
x = 2y - 5 ......2
Substitute 2y - 5 for x in Eq (1)
x + y = 94......1
2y - 5 + y = 94
3y = 94 + 5
3y = 99
y = 33.
The two numbers are:
x = 61
y = 33
Hope this helps.
