Question

--The sum of two numbers is 33. One number is 2 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

2x + x =33

Explanation:

let the number be ''x''

the other number is 2 times as large, so it is 2x

their sum is 33

• 2x + x = 33

find the value of x

2x + x = 33

3x = 33

3x= 33

x = 33/3 (divide 3 on both sides )

x = 11

apply the value of x

2 (11) + 11 = 33

22 + 11 = 33

Answer 2

11 and 22

Explanation:

Let x be the first number

the second number is twice the first one so it's 2x

The equation is

• 2x+x =33
• 3x = 33 divide by 3 in each side
• x = 33/3
• x= 11

so the first number is 11 and the second one 22 (11*2)
