Answer:

x = 38

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number = x

Let the second number = y

x - y = 20

x must be the larger of the two numbers

x = 2y + 2                               Put this equation into the equation above

2y + 2 - y = 20                       Combine

y + 2 = 20                              Subtract 2 from both sides

y = 20 - 2

y = 18

x - 18 = 20                            Add 18 to both sides

x = 38
