The sum of two numbers is 69. the larger number is three less than twice the smaller number. find the numbers.

x = 45, y = 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the 2 numbers are x and y:

x + y = 69(1)

x = 2y - 3

x - 2y = -3(2)

Subtract: (1) - (2):

x - x + y - (-2y) = 69 - (-3)

y + 2y = 72

3y = 72

y = 24.

From equation 1:-

x + 24 = 69

x = 45.
