Question 1128386
The sum of two numbers is 35. Twice the first number is five less than the second number. Find the numbers. (Let x represent one quantity, and y represent the other quantity. Use the given condition to find a system of equations.)
====================

Have you tried following the given instructions? <br>

One equation is clearly:
(1)  x + y = 35<br>

The 2nd equation is clearly:
(2)  2x = y-5<br>

It will be good practice if you try solving this system.   An easy way to go is solve (2) for y and then plug in that expression (which will have only x's and numbers in it) into (1).   Message me if you need help.
