Question

one number is twice another number. their sum is three more than the larger number. find the numbers. 

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find two numbers that satisfy the equation such that

y = 2x and

y + x = y + 3...............The second equation implies x = 3. Then,

y = 2(3).............Dividing 2 will get us

y = 6

I hope this helped!
