Question

The sum of two numbers is 25. One number is twice the second number plus seven. What are the two numbers ?

Answer 1

the two numbers are 19 and 6

Explanation:

so we know that there are two numbers that added together give us 25

x+x=25

one of the numbers is twice the amount of the second plus 7

(2x+7)+x=25

simplify 2x+7+x

3x+7=25

subtract 7 from both sides

3x=18

divide 3 by both sides

x=6

and there is your answer.
