The Sum Of Two Numbers Is 11 And Twice One Number Added To Five Times The Other Is 49.what Are The Numbers?
The numbers are 9 and 2. 9 times 5 is 45 and 2 times 2 is 4. The total is 49. The problem is easy to translate and solve via trial and error; however, of greater interest is the algebraic strategy used to solve the problem.
2(11-s) + 5s= 49
22+3s=49
3s=27
s=9
s=2
2(11-s) + 5s= 49
