The sum of two numbers is 20. The larger number is 5 more than the smaller number. What are the two numbers

Sagot :

Answer:

Larger number = 12.5, Smaller # = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let L = larger #

let S = smaller #

L + S = 20

L = S + 5 (Because L is 5 more than S)

Plug in L

S + 5 + S = 20

2S + 5 = 20

2S = 20 - 5

2S = 15

(divide both sides by 2)

S = 7.5

L + 7.5 = 20

L = 12.5 (because 20 - 7.5 = 12.5)
