Question

My question is this “the larger of two numbers is two less than 3 times the smaller. Four times the smaller, increased by 4, results in two times the larger. What are the numbers? Check!”

Answer 1

L=-2+3s, 4s+4=2L

double 1st equation

2L= 6s -4= 4s+4

combine like terms

2s =8, s=8/2=

4= smaller number, L =10= Larger

numbers are 4 and 10
