Question 856308
The sum of two times one number and three times another is 29. The difference between twice the first number and second is 1. Solve algebraically to find the numbers.
-------------------
Equations:
2x + 3y = 29
2x - y = 1
--------
Subtract and solve for "y":
4y = 28
y = 7
------------------
Solve for "x":
2x - y = 1
2x - 7 = 1
2x = 8
x = 4
