Answer to a math question The sum of two positive integers is 42. When the smaller integer is subtracted from twice the larger the result is 24. Find the two integers
Let the integers be x and y.
Given that:
x+y=42
2y-x=24
Add both equations.
3y=66
y=66/3
y=22
Substitute the value of in the first equation.
x+22=42
x=42-22
x=20
Hence the integers are 22 and 20.
