The sum of two numbers is twenty. Three times the smaller is equal to two times the larger. Find the two numbers.

8 & 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=20 [The sum of two numbers is twenty]

3x=2y [Three times the smaller is equal to twice the larger]

.

x=20-y [Solve for x]

3(20-y)=2y [Substitute (x=20-y) into the second equation]

60-3y=2y [Solve for y]

60=5y

60/5=y

12=y

.

x+y=20 [Plug (y=12) back into either of the original equations]

x+12=20 [solve for x]

x=8

.

The smaller number is 8

The larger number is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x

Let the larger number be y
