Your friend is trying to see if you can guess the two numbers she secretly has written on her paper. your friend tells you that 2 times the first number is 13 more than the second number. she also tells you that the sum of the two numbers is 62.

can you guess your friend’s numbers?

Hello,

First we work out the equations:

x + y =62 will be the first equation.

2x= y +13 is the second equation.

We can first rewrite the second equation as 2x – y =13.

So we have:

x + y = 62

2x –y =13

KEEP IN MIND: With y being positive in one of the equations and negative in the other, we can combine the equations to quickly eliminate y and solve for x.

x + y = 62

+2x –y =13

3x = 75 divide both sides by 3 to get x.

x = 25

Now that we have x we can substitute the value for x, 25.

25 + y = 62 we can subtract 25 from both sides to get y.

y = 62- 25

y = 37

2(25) = 37 + 13

Therefore,

50 = 50

Have a amazing day.

25 questions , because they start with 100.  

350-100=250 .  

. 250/10=25

step-by-step explanation:

first take off 100, then what x 10 = 250? that is your answer. (25)
