Question

The difference between two numbers is 6. The first number plus twice the other number is 39. Find the two numbers.

Answer 1

First number = 13

second number = 26

Explanation:

Their total number is = 36

Let the first number be = n

the second number be = 2n as you said in the question.

the value of n

=n + 2n = 39

=3n = 39

Note// divide both side by 3

=3n/3 = 39/3

n = 13.

therefore:

the first number = n = 13

the second number = 2n = 2( 13 ) = 26.
