Problem: the second of two numbers is two less than 3 times the first . find the numbers if there sum is 82 .
Rationale: we are looking for two numbers . # 1 - x # 2 - 3 x â € “ 2 the sum is 82 . # 1 + # 2 = 82 substituting x + 3 x â € “ 2 = 82 4 x â € “ 2 = 82 4 x = 84 x = 21 the first number is 21 , the second number is two less than three times 21 or 61 . correct answer e
annotated_formula: subtract(divide(add(82, const_2), add(3, const_1)), subtract(multiply(3, divide(add(82, const_2), add(3, const_1))), const_2))
