Question 662878
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \LARGE x] represent the larger number.  Then if *[tex \LARGE y] represents the smaller number, we can say:



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


and



*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3(y\ +\ 10)\ =\ x\ +\ 52]


Solve the 2X2 system for *[tex \LARGE x] and *[tex \LARGE y].  Hint: The substitution method works very well here.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
