2. One number is eight more than another of the sum of the smaller number and twice the
larger number is 46, find the two number

10 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 2b = 46

A + 2(b+8) = 46

b + 2b + 16 = 46

3b+ 16 = 46

3b = 30

b = 10

That’s the first number.

b is 10 so a is 10+8 = 18 because it’s 8 more then the other number.

b + 2a = 46

(10) + 2(18) = 46

10 + 36 = 46

46 = 46

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
