The difference between two numbers is 15. the greater number is two less than twice the lesser number. find the numbers.

x=32, y=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between two numbers is 15:

x-y=15

Greater number (x) is two less than twice the lesser number:

x=2y-2

x-y=15,

x=2y-2.

x-y-x=15-2y+2

-y=15-2y+2

y=15+2

y=17

x-y=15

x-17=15

x=17+15

x=32

i believe the correct answer is b.
