Question 134616
Call the 1st number {{{a}}}
Call the 2nd number {{{b}}}
{{{a = 3b - 4}}}
{{{2a + 3 - 2b = 11}}}
Substitute {{{a}}} in the 1st for {{{a}}} in the 2nd
{{{2*(3b - 4) + 3 - 2b = 11}}}
{{{6b - 8 + 3 - 2b = 11}}}
{{{4b = 11 + 8 - 3}}}
{{{4b = 16}}}
{{{b = 4}}}
{{{a = 3b - 4}}}
{{{a = 3*4 - 4}}}
{{{a = 8}}}
The numbers are 8 and 4
check:
{{{2a + 3 - 2b = 11}}}
{{{2*8 + 3 - 2*4 = 11}}}
{{{19 - 8 = 11}}}
{{{11 = 11}}}
{{{a = 3b - 4}}}
{{{8 = 3*4 - 4}}}
{{{8 = 8}}}
OK
