The sum of two numbers is 23. Twice one number increased by 6 is the same as 4 times the other number decreased by 2. What is the largest of the two numbers?

One number is 4.2, the other is 18.8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)  x+y=23

    (x+6y)x2=4

2.) (x+6y)x2=4   =   2x+12y=4

3.)Use elimination/substitution to solve

     2x+12y=4  =   x+6y=2  =  x=2-6y

     2-6y+y=23

4.)Solve for y

     2-5y=23 -> -5y=21 -> y=4.2.

5.)Solve for x

    x+4.2=23

    x=18.8

I may be wrong so let me know if I am

i = 2 / - 5

step-by-step explanation:

evaluation of ( 2 - 4 ) ( p + q ) when p = 2 and q = 5 i, by putting values of p and q,
