Question

One number is 7 more than twice another. If thelr difference is 22, what is the larger number?

43
37​

Answer 1

Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number. 2x+7 is the larger number. Their difference is 22:

x+22=2x+7

x=15

So the smaller number is 15 and the larger number is 2(15)+7=37.
