Question

One number is 2 less than two-thirds the other. Their sum is 103. Find the two numbers

Answer 1

n = 1st number
m = 2nd number

n = 2m/3 - 2
n + m = 103

(2m/3 - 2) + m = 103
2m/3 + m - 2 = 103
2m/3 + m = 103 + 2
2m/3 + m = 105
2m/3 + 3m/3 = 105
5m/3 = 105
5m = 315
m = 315/5
m = 63
n = 40

Answer 2
