Question

one number is three more than twice another number. if the sum of the two numbers is 3636 , find the numbers.

Answer 1

1211 and 2425

Explanation:

let one number be x then the other number is 2x + 3 and their sum is

x + 2x + 3 = 3636

3x + 3 = 3636 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3x = 3633 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 1211

and

2x + 3 = 2(1211) + 3 = 2422 + 3 = 2425

the numbers are 1211 and 2425
