Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf x = 14 , y = 10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

Condition # 1:

x + y = 24  ---------------------(1)

Condition # 2:

x = 2y - 6  ----------------------(2)

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Putting Equation # 2 in Equation # 1

2y - 6 + y = 24

3y - 6 = 24

Adding 6 to both sides

3y = 24 + 6

3y = 30

Dividing both sides by 3

y = 10

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Putting y = 10 in Equation # 2

x = 2y - 6

x = 2(10) - 6

x = 20 - 6

x = 14

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

The two numbers are 10 and 14.

The sum of 2 numbers is 24.

let the number be x and y . Therefore,

x + y = 24

One is 6 less than twice the other. therefore,

2x - y = 6

Combine the equations

x + y = 24

2x - y = 6

3x = 30

x = 30 / 3

x = 10

x + y = 24

10 + y = 24

y = 24 - 10

y = 14

The 2 numbers are 10 and 14 .
