The sum of two numbers is 100. The first number, is two times the second number.

Question

You need to add 2 numbers and they have to ultimately equal 100

 

EX: 2 + 4 = 6

 

4 is twice two.

 

 

Answer 1

Let x = first number

Let y = 2nd number

 

x + y = 100                  eq1

x = 2y                          eq2

 

 

Then,

 

2y + y = 100

3y = 100

 

y = 100/3

 

Then x is what?
