Question 711783
The greater of two numbers is 10 more than the smaller. Their sum is 38. Find the numbers. 
------------------
Equations:
g + s = 38
g = s + 10
-----------
Substitute for "g" and solve for "s":
s+10 + s = 38
2s = 28
smaller = 28
-----
Solve for "g":
g = s + 10
g = 28 + 10
greater = 38
