Twice a number plus twice a second number is 310. the difference between the numbers is 55

x = 105

y = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, try writing it out as an equation/expression first.

When you do, you should get something like this:

2x + 2y = 310

x - y = 55

This is a system of equations. To solve this, we're going to multiply the second equation [x - y = 55] by 2.

2(x - y = 55) = 2x - 2y = 110

Now, subtract your new equation from the first one [2x + 2y = 310]

2x + 2y = 310

-2x + 2y = -110

//If you're wondering why I changed the signs of the new equation, I multiplied our new equation [2x - 2y = 110] by -1 since we're subtracting//

When you're done subtracting, the "2x" and "-2x" cancel out, so you're left with:

4y = 200

Now, simply solve for "y" by dividing both sides by 4.

4y = 200

y = 50

Now that we know y's value, substitute it into one of our original equations to solve for x.

//I'm gonna plug y into the second equation [x - y = 55] just because it's easier, but you can plug it into the first one as well and get the same answer//

When we plug it in, we get:

x - (50) = 55

To solve for "x," we must get rid of "-50." To do this, add 50 to both sides.

x - 50 = 55

x = 105

So, x = 105 and y = 50
