Question

the difference between two numbers is 9. three times the smaller is equal to twice the larger. what are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer: 27 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 9  → x = 9 + y

3y = 2x

3y = 2(9 + y)

3y = 18 + 2y

3y - 2y = 18

y = 18

2x = 3(18)

2x = 54

x = 27

x - y = 9

27 - 18 = 9

9 = 9
