The sum of two numbers is 80. if twice the smaller number is subtracted from larger number, the result is 17 find the two numbers

59 & 21

Step-by-step explanation:

so this probably won't be the best explanation, but here goes:

For the sake of knowing the two numbers aren't equal to each other, I decided to do variables n and x, so:

n+x=80

Now we need to find the value of n:

So the question sets this up as

n-2x=17. We need to change the equation so that we're solving for n, so: n=17+2x

Next we need to solve n+x=80, to do that we need to make it into x=80-n

Now that they're set up like this we can do : 80-n=17+2x.

I honestly don't know how to explain it the rest of the way but if you plug in those two numbers they should be right.

multiply length by height. multiply the length by the height, and then double the product. work out 10 x 10 results = 100 square inches, then work out 100 x 2 = 200. the answer is 200 square inches.
