Question 914241
Assign Varibles-----------

x and y, the two numbers.




Transcribe into symbolic statements(equations)--------------

x+y=50
and
2x-y=19




Solve for the variables-----------------

First equation, y=50-x.
Second equation, 2x-(y)=19
2x-(50-x)=19
2x-50+x=19
3x-50=19
3x=19+50
3x=69
x=69/3
x=23---------one of the numbers.
-
y=50-x
y=50-23
y=27--------------the other number.
