The larger of two numbers is five more than twice the smaller number. the sum of the two numbers is 38. find the numbers.

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

the answer is 13

step-by-step explanation:

5*5=25

12*12=144

25+144=169

169^2=13
