Your friend is trying to see if you can guess the two numbers she secretly has written on her paper. your friend tells you that 2 times the first number is 13 more than the second number. she also tells you that the sum of the two numbers is 62. can you guess your friends number?

25, 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "b" be natural numbers.

Your friend tells you that 2 times the first number is 13 more than the second number.

2a = b + 13 [1]

She also tells you that the sum of the two numbers is 62.

a + b = 62

b = 62 - a [2]

We can replace [2] in [1],

2a = (62 - a) + 13

3a = 75

a = 25

From [2]

b = 62 - a = 62 - 25 = 37

ratio is 2 : 9

the answer is three

13.5 : 3
