Answer:

Here's what i know:

x + y = 23

3y / 20 =x

 

Here we can use substitution to help find our answer:

y + 3y/20 = 23

20y/20 + 3y/20 = 23

23y/20 = 23

23y = 23 * 20

y = 23 * 20 / 23

y = 20

 

x + 20 = 23

x = 3

Answer:

3 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 numbers, we will call them a and b.

We have: a = [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex]b and a + b = 23

=> [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex]b + b = 23

=> [tex]\frac{23b}{20}[/tex] = 23

=> 23b = 460

=> b = 20

=> a = 3
