Answer: 11 and 22
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start by making an equation. Since we know we have two numbers added to make 33. One number can be represented by x and the other is half of this x number so we can write this equation.
33 = 1/2x + x
Now we can combine like terms.
33 = 3/2x
Then either multiply by the reciprocal or divide by 1.5 on both sides.
x = 22
And the other number is half this number so divide by 2.
y = 11
