If the smaller of two numbers is one-half of the larger number and the sum of the two numbers is 81 , find the numbers.

1 answer:

4 0

Let smaller number be x/2 and the larger number x.

x/2 + x = 81
x/2 + x = 3x/2
3x/2 = 81
3x = 162
x= 54

The smaller number is 54/2= 27 and the larger number is 54.
