Question 937087: The sum of two numbers is 20. When the larger number is subtracted from twice the smaller number, the difference is 4. What are the numbers? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = larger number
y = smaller number
---
x + y = 20
2y - x = 4
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 20
-x + 2y = 4
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
