Question

the sum of two numbers is 51 . the larger number is 23 more than the smaller number. what are the numbers?

Answer 1

37 and 14 are the numbers.

Answer 2

q+(q+23)=51.  If we subtract 23 from 51 we get 28.  Now if we divide 28 by 2 we get 14.  14+23=37.  37 + 14 is 51.  So the two numbers are 14 and 37.  Hope this helped :)
