Question

4. The larger of two numbers is twice the smaller number. If 12 is subtracted from the larger

number, the result is 7 more than the smaller number. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

19 and 38

Explanation:

let 'x' = smaller number

let '2x' = larger number

2x - 12 = x + 7

x - 12 = 7

x = 19

2x = 38
