Let the numbers be x and y; x being the larger number and y being the smaller.
Given,
x + y = 2* (x - y)
x + y = 2x - 2y
x = 3y
Also given,
x = 6 + 2y
3y = 6 + 2y
--- y = 6
Thus, x = 3y = 3*6 = 18.
Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 6.
If Melody used the table and still made a mistake, you can
imagine how badly we'll do if we can't even SEE the table.
