Question 942392: One number is one less than two times another. If their sum is increased by two, the result is ten. Find the numbers. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = larger number
y = smaller number
---
x = 2y - 1
x + y + 2 = 10
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - 2y = -1
x + y = 8
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
