Which of the following system of equations represents the word problem?


A. x + y = 23 and y = 2x + 5
B. y = x + 5 and y + 2(x + 5) = 23
C. y = 2(x + 5) and x + y = 23

Answer 1

A. x + y = 23 and y = 2x + 5

Answer 2

@Khadeejah : Would u explain :D

Answer 3

Here is mine :
Let the first number y ,and the second number x

Since that One number is 5 more than twice another
y-5=2x ,y=2x+5

Since their sum is 23
y+x=23

Answer 4

let one no. be x.
Then,sec. no.=x+5
=>(x+5)+(x)=23
=>2x+5=23
=>2x=23-5
=>2x=18
=>x=18/2
=>x=9
