Question

Six times a number plus three times a second number is 27. The second

number is one more than two times the first number. What is the second
number?

Answer 1

the answer to this is 5 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:5 1/3

Explanation:

number = n

second number = s

6n + 3s = 27

2n + 1 = s

6n + 3(2n + 1) = 27

6n + 6n + 1 = 27

12n = 26

n = 26/12

n = 2 1/6

2(2 1/6) + 1 = s

4 1/3 + 1 = s

5 1/3 = s
