The sum of two numbers is 30. the first number is twice the second number. what are the numbers?
1 answer:
Let the numbers be x and y.
by the first statement of the question, we get , x + y = 30.,,..(1)
by the second satement, we get , x = y+ y => x=2y... (2)
from equation (2), let us put the value of x in equation (1),
x + y = 30
=> 2y + y = 30
=> 3y = 30
=> y =30/3
=> y = 10
and x=2y => x = 2*10 = 20
in short, the numbers are 10 and 20
