Answer:
The numbers are 20 and 39.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers is 59
.
x + y = 59
The larger number is 19 more than the smaller number.
y = x + 19
What are the numbers?
Replace y with (x+19) in the 1st equation
x + (x+19) = 59
x+x = 59 - 19
2x = 40
x = 40
/2 = 20
You can find the value of y
y = 59-x
y = 59-20
y = 39
