Hi
 sum of two numbers is 10
Let x and (10-x) represent the larger and smaller number respectively
Question States***Write as we Read
2x - (10-x) = 15
Solving for x
 2x - 10 + x = 15
     3x = 25
      x = 25/3  or 8 1/3, the larger.  The smaller 1 2/3 or 5/3   (10- 8 1/3)

 2*(25/3) - 5/3 = 50/3 - 5/3 = 45/3 = 15
