Question 520160
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">

The sum of two numbers is 22:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ y\ =\ 22]


It is arbitrary which is the larger, so let *[tex \Large x] represent the larger, then:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ =\ 3y\ +\ 2]


Solve the system for the ordered pair *[tex \Large \left(x,\,y\right)]


Hint: Substitute the expression in the RHS of the second equation for *[tex \Large x] in the first equation.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
