Question

The sum of two integers is 31. The larger of the two integers is
4 more than 2 times the smaller integer. What are the integers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The larger is 22, the smaller is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to make the two equations for this which would be:

x+y=31

x=2y+4

we can put the second equation into the first

(2y+4)+y=31

3y+4=31

subtract 4 from each side

3y=27

divide each side by 3

y=9

put this y into our second equation

x=2(9)+4

x=18+4

x=22
