Answer:

The numbers are 20 and 140

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

Find 2 numbers knowing that the second number is 7 times greater than the first, and the sum between the double of the first number and the triple of the second is 460

Define the variables

Let

x ----> the first number

y ----> the second number

we know that

[tex]y=7x[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]2x+3y=460[/tex] ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation A in equation B

[tex]2x+3(7x)=460[/tex]

solve for x

[tex]2x+21x=460[/tex]

[tex]23x=460[/tex]

[tex]x=20[/tex]

Find the value of y

[tex]y=7x[/tex]  ----> [tex]y=7(20)=140[/tex]

The numbers are 20 and 140
