Question

I'm lost can someone help me please?

Answer 1

Answer: The other number is 19 more than that number represented by x + 19

Equation: x + (x + 19) = 45

The numbers are 13 and 32

Explanation:

So we know that the sum is 45, and that one of the numbers in the equation is 19 more than the other. We can call one of the numbers "x". The instructions tell us that the second number is 19 more than x, so the second number can be written as this equation: x+19

Equation: x + (x + 19) = 45

2x + 19 = 45

2x = 26

x = 13

Plug x back into the equation to find the second number (x + 19)

x + 19

13 + 19 = 32

Answer 2

x=13

y=32

Explanation:

x+y=45

x+19=y

45-y+19=y

2y=64

y=32

x=13
