Ok so lets say the first number is x and the second number is y we will use a system of equations to solve.
"Three times one number is twice the second" this equation is 3x=2y
"<span>Twice the first number is 3 more than the second number." this equation would be  2x=y+3
To solve for x, change the second equation to y= 2x-3 by simply subtracting 3 from y to get y by itself.
Plug 2x-3 in for y in the first equation
3x=2(2x-3) solve for x - distribute the 2
3x=4x-6 subtract the 4x from both sides
-x= -6 divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the -x
x=6 now plug this into x in any of the 2 equations and you will find y
2x=y+3
2(6)=y+3
12=y+3
9=y
first number is 6 second number is 9

Let x be the 1st number & y the 2nd

3x=2y (1st equation)

and

2x=y+3 (2nd equation)   ===> 2x-3 = y (3rd equation) & y=9

Substitute in 1st equation, y but its value in the 3rd

===>3x= 2(3x-3)===>solve for x=6

What were the<br> conditions in Jewish<br> ghettos under Nazi<br> rule?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Conditions in the ghettos were appalling. For example, the majority of the apartments in the Warsaw ghetto were unheated during winter, and the Nazis decided that the inhabitants of the Warsaw ghetto could survive on an official food allocation of 300 calories per day (compared with 634 calories for the Poles and 2,310 for the Germans).

The Nazis ordered Jews to wear identifying badges or armbands with a yellow Star of David on them in the ghettos. Many Jews were also required to perform forced labor for the German Reich. The Nazi-appointed Jewish councils (Judenrat) and Jewish police maintained order within the ghettos and were forced by the Germans to facilitate deportations to the extermination camps.
