one number is 10 more than another. The sum of twice the smaller plus three times the larger, is 55. What are the two numbers

Question

the question is a question about math and i dont like math

Answer 1

x=smaller number, y=x+10 is the larger number and 2x+3y=55. replace y with x+10 to get 2x+3(x+10)=55
which is 5x+30=55, 5x=25, x=5 so y=15
