Question 532691
Half the difference between two numbers is 2. The sum of the greater number and twice the smaller number is 3. Find the numbers.
-----
(1/2)(x-y) = 2
x + 2y = 3
-----
Modify:
x - y = 4
x + 2y= 3
-----
subtract and solve for "y":
3y = -1
y = -1/3
----
Solve for "x":
x = y+4
x = 3 2/3
