解答ステップ

Represent the numbers with

x and y

number 1 : x

number 2 : y

A.T.Q.:

x + y = 34

x = 2 y - 7

x + y = 34, x = 2 y - 7 : x = \frac{61}{3}, y = \frac{41}{3}

仮分数を帯分数に変換する:

\frac{61}{3} = 20 \frac{1}{3}

仮分数を帯分数に変換する:

\frac{41}{3} = 13 \frac{2}{3}

The numbers : 20 \frac{1}{3}, 13 \frac{2}{3}
