The sum of two nymbers is 44. one number is 5 more than 2 times the other. what are the two numbers

Hey You!

The second number, which is 5 more than twice the first, is y.

y = 2x + 5

x + y = 44

x + (2x + 5) = 44

3x + 5 = 44

3x = 44 - 5

3x = 39

x = 39/3

x = 13

For the other number:

x + y = 44

13 + y = 44

y = 44 - 13

y = 31

The two numbers are 13 and 31.

X+y=44

x=2y+5

2y+5+y=44

3y=39

y=13

x=31
