To solve, set an equation:
First Number: x
Second Number: 2x
x+2x=36
3x=36
divide both sides by 3
x=13
First Number: (x) 12
Second Number: (2x) 24
Answers: 12 and 24
You would basically go back and trace all your steps, that's what I do. And if your answer seems reasonable then you have the right answer but if your work doesn't match the answer than you've messed up.
I hope I helped if I did like my answer and comment down below thx
Slope=rise/run
yintercept is where the line crosses the y axis
y=mx+B
m=slope
b=yint
intercept at -3
y=mx-3
pick a point
(5,0)
x=5,y=0
0=m(5)-3
add 3
3=5m
divide 5
3/5=m
slope=3/5
y int=-3
The answer is 9 :) hope you got it
