The sum of two numbers is 61. the larger number is 15 more than the smaller number. what are the numbers?

Smaller number: x

Larger number: x + 15

Make an equation for the two numbers and have them equal 61.

(x) + (x + 15) = 61

Combine like terms.

2x + 15 = 61

Subtract 15 from both sides.

2x = 46

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 23

Plug in 23 for x for the larger number.

(23) + 15 = 38

just find the gcf and solve the gcf's until you get each answer i have a really good feeling somethings missing xd (like the dimensions of the fence) *cough *cough *hint *hint

step-by-step explanation:

other answer is correct. i had used the radius of the radius somehow. a website:
