Question

Solve the problem algebraically. Clearly define all variables, write an appropriate equation, and solve.
One number is 6

more than twice the other number. If the sum of the two numbers is 33
,
find the two numbers.

Answer 1

Sagar, this is exactly like your next posting:

 

Your numbers are:  x, 2x+6

They sum to 33:  x + 2x + 6 = 33

                          3x = 27

 

Can you find x, and then 2x+6?
