PLEASE HELP ME! AFCVGBHNJMK

The sum of two numbers is 27. One number is 2 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

9 and 18

Explanation:

let the numbers be x and 2x

so that x+2x=27

3x=27

x=9

so the numbers are 9 and 18.

I hope this will help

Answer 2

• 9 and 18

`\\`

Explanation:

It is given that, the sum of two numbers is 27 and one of the number is 2 times as large as the other.

`\\`

Let us assume the one number as x and as state in the question, one of the number is 2 times as large as the other (x) . So, the other number will be 2x .

`\\`

Now,

`\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad x + 2x = 27 \:}}} \\ \\`

Adding like terms we get :

`\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad 3x = 27 \:}}} \\ \\`

Dividing both sides by 3 we get :

`\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\sf {\qquad (3x)/(3) = (27)/(3) \:}}} \\ \\`

`{\longrightarrow \pmb{\frak {\qquad {x} = {9} \:}}} \\ \\`

So,

• One of the number is 9.

`\\`

Now,

`\\ {\longrightarrow \pmb{\frak {\qquad Other \: number = 2x \:}}} \\ \\`

`{\longrightarrow \pmb{\frak {\qquad Other \: number = 2(9) \:}}} \\ \\`

`{\longrightarrow \pmb{\frak {\qquad Other \: number = 18 \:}}} \\ \\`

Therefore,

• The two numbers are 9 and 18.
