Let smallest number be x then largest = 2x
so x + 2x = 36
3x = 36
x = 12 and 2x = 24

The 2 numbers are 12 and 24

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

Subtract, 8 3/8 - 10 1/6

IRISSAK [1]

$8\frac{3}{8} = \frac{67}{6} \\ 10\frac{1}{6} = \frac{61}{6}$

$8\frac{3}{8} - 10\frac{1}{6}$

$convert$ them to: $\frac{67}{8} - \frac{61}{6}$

$\frac{67}{8} - \frac{61}{6} = \frac{-43}{24}$

Your $answer$ : $-1\frac{19}{24}$

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day
