:two numbers sum to 65 twice the first subtracted from the second is 5 find the numbers

a+b = 65

b - 2a = 5

Solve one variable in terms of another:

b = 5 + 2a

Substitute in this variable:

a + 5 + 2a = 65

3a = 70

a = 23.3

Use this to find the other variable:

23.3 + b = 65

b = 41.7

Check the

23.3 + 41.7 = 65

65 = 65

ANSWERS:

a = 23.3

b = 41.7

the answer will be
