The larger of two numbers is 11 more than twice the smaller number. The sum of the numbers is 1 less than seven times the smaller number. Find the numbers

bigger: 16, smaller: 2 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = smaller number

11 + 2x + x = 7x - 1

+1                     +1

12 + 2x = 7x

    -2x     -2x

12 = 5x, x = 2 2/5 = smaller number

11 + 5 = 16 = bigger number
