Answer:

13 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

(2x-3) + x = 36

3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms

<u> +3 +3</u><u> </u> add 3 to both sides

<u>3</u>x = <u>39</u>

3 3 divide both sides by 3

x = 13

<u>13 is the first number</u>

the 2nd number is 3 let than twice the first so we create and solve a new equation:

2x - 3 = ?

2(13) = ? substitute 13 from the

smaller number to solve

<u>23 = the 2nd number</u>
