difference of the numbers is 10 (x > y).
Now the teacher asked James to add double of Peter's number and that three times of Kevin's number, the total
was found 120.
Reeta just entered in the class, she did not know any number.
The teacher said Reeta to form the 1st equation with two variables x and y.
Now Veena just entered the class so the teacher told her to form 2nd equation with two variables x and y.
Now teacher Told Reeta to find the values of x and y. Peter and kelvin were told to verify the numbers x and y.
