The Sum Of Two Numbers Is 95 If The Larger Number Is Increased By Twice The Smaller Number The Result Is 120 What Is The Largest Number class=

Answer :

Let x represent the smaller number

Let y represent the larger number

The sum of the two numbers is 95. This means that

x + y = 95

If the larger number is increased by twice the smaller number, the result is 120. This means that

2x + y = 120

The system of equations representing the word problem is

x + y = 95, 2x + y = 120
