Using simultaneous equation, the numbers in ascending order are 12 and 31

How to form an equation from word expression?

There are two numbers, one is 7 more than twice the other. Therefore,

y = 2x + 7

The sum of the numbers is 43. Therefore,

x + y = 43

Combine the equation

2x - y = -7

x + y = 43

3x = 36

x = 36 / 3

x = 12

y = 2(12) + 7

y = 24 + 7

y = 31

Therefore, the numbers in ascending order are 12 and 31
