Question

The sum of two numbers is 15. Twice one number equals 3 times the other. Find both numbers

Answer 1

9 & 6

Explanation:

First, check if, by adding them (sum), they equal 15:

9 + 6 = 15

Next, check the greater number, by multiplying it by 2:

9 x 2 = 18

Check the lesser number, by multiplying it by 3:

6 x 3 = 18

Note that they both have 18 as an answer.

9 & 6 are your answers.
