The sum of two numbers is 50. The first number is 43 less than twice the second number. Write and solve a system of equations to find the two numbers.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a + b = 50

a = 2b - 43

2b - 43 + b = 50

     +43         +43

3b = 93

b = 31

(31 x 2) - 43 = 19

a = 19   b = 31

31 + 19 = 50
