Question

What are two numbers that add to make 36 with one of the numbers be exactly twice the other

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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
