The larger of 2 numbers is 8 more than twice the smaller. The sum of the number is 10 less than 3 times the larger. Find the numbers

larger no = 4, samller no=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

let, samller no=x, larger no=y

ac/ques, y=2x+8 ... (1)

x+y=3y-10 ... (2)

y=2x+8 put in equ (2)

x+2x+8=3 (2x+8) - 10

3x+8=6x+24-10

3x=-6

x=-2

x=-2 put in equ (1)

y=-4+8=4

larger no = y=4, samller no=x=-2
