One number is three more than the second number. Twice the first is nine less than three times the second. What are the two numbers?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second no is x

First no = x+3

Twice the first is nine less than three times the second.

We can write in the form of equation as follows :

2(x+2) = 3x-9

Solving brackets first

2x+4=3x-9

Taking like terms together

9+4=3x-2x

13=x

First no = x+3 = 13 + 3 = 16

So, first and second numbers are 16 and 13 respectively.
