Question 927010: a second number is one more than the first number. The sum of twice the first number and the second number is 16. What are the two numbers? let F be the first number and S be the second.
I dont know how to set this problem up with the two equations in order to get the answer :( please help
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! s = f + 1
2f + s = 16
---
2f + s = 16
2f + (f + 1) = 16
2f + f + 1 = 16
3f = 15
f = 5
s = 6
