Question
Answer (109)
x + y = 11
2x - y = 7
We have made two equations from the given statements. Assuming x is the greater number and y is the lesser number.
Now we can simultaneously solve these two and get our answer.
y = 11 - x.
2x - 11 + x = 7.
3x - 11 = 7
x = 6. So y = 5. Hence solved.
The greater number will be 6 and the other number will be 5
