Question 284338
The sum of two numbers is fourteen.  The difference between two times the smaller and the larger is one.  Find the two numbers.

x smaller number, y larger number

x + y = 14
2x - y = 1

y = 14 - x

2x - 14 + x = 1
3x - 14 = 1
3x = 15
x = 5

y = 14 - 5 = 9

the 2 numbers are 5 and 9
