Answer:
the smaller number is 15, and the larger number is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Sooo, s= smaller number and l=larger number
can be solved two ways (using s)
s + s + 15= 45 subtract 15 on both sides
s + s = 30 add both s, which equals 2s
2s = 30 divide both sides by 2
s = 15
( 15 + 15 + 15 = 45)
(you can solve using l)
l - 15 + l = 45 add 15 on both sides
l + l = 60 add both l, which equals 2l
2l = 60 divide both sides by 2
l = 30
( 30 - 15 + 30 = 45)
