By solving a little system of equations we will see that the two numbers are 12 and 31.
How to find the numbers?
Let's define the two numbers as a and b.
We know that one of the numbers is 7 more than twice the other, so we have:
a = 2b + 7
We also know that the sum of the two numbers is 43, so we get:
a + b = 43
Replacing the first equation into the second one we get:
2b + 7 + b = 43
3b = 43 - 7 = 36
b = 36/3 = 12
Now that we know b, we can find a:
a = 2*12 + 7 = 31
So the numbers are 12 and 31.
