The sum of two numbers is twice their difference. The larger number is 5 more than twice the smaller. Find the numbers.

18 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is twice their difference: 18 + 6 = 24, 18 - 6 = 12. 24 is twice of 12.

The larger number is 5 more than twice the smaller. Twice of 6 is 12. 5 more than 12 is 18.

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
