The sum of two numbers is 5. The larger number is 14 more than twice the smaller number. What is the larger number?

Sagot :

The sum of two number is 5

Let the first number is the largest number and it is x

and the second number is y

The larger number is 14 more than twice the smaller number.

So,

First number = 14 +2 (second number)

x = 14 +2y

Since the sum of two number is 5 : x + y =5

The system of linear equation are :

x +y =5

x = 14 +2y
