Question 252089
The sum of two numbers is 46. Four times one number is 4 more than twice the other number. Find the numbers
----
Equations:
x + y = 46
4x = 2y+4
-----------------
Rearrange:
x = 46-y
----
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
4(46-y) = 2y + 4
184 - 4y = 2y + 4
6y = 180
y = 30
----
Since x = 46-y, x = 46-30 = 16
----
Solution: x = 16 ; y = 30
