Question #5b08e

Answer 1

Number 1: 18
Number 2: 29

Here's why...

Explanation:

We set the smaller 1 to be `x`
We know the larger number is 7 less than `2x`. So, it's `2x - 7`

Let's add the numbers together to get 47...

`x + 2x - 7 = 47`
`3x = 54`
`x = 18`

We're not done!
That solves for smaller number: 18, but there is the larger number which is 7 less than `2 * 18` Which is 29.

`29 + 18 = 47`

And `18 * 2 - 7 = 29`
So we solved it!!!
