The sum of two numbers is 64 . If one of them is twice the other . Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

64/3 and 128/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be 'x' and the other be 'y'

Then

x+y=64---------(1)

x=2y-------------(2)

putting value of equation (2) in equation (1)

2y+y=64

3y=64

y=64/3

putting value of y in equation (2)

x=2*64/3

x=128/3

Therefore, the two numbers are 64/3 and 128/3
