Answer:
L = 34
S = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
L (larger number) = 2S - 10 [1st equation]
S (smaller number) =?
56 = L + S [2nd equation]
Solution:
Substitute the value of L in the second equation.
So;
56 = (2S - 10) + S
56 = 3S - 10
3S = 56 + 10
3S = 66
S = 22
Now, substitute the value of S in the 1st equation.
L = 2S -10
L = 2(22) -10
L = 44 - 10
L = 34
