Let the smaller number be x.
Hence, bigger number will be x+9.
A.T.Q.
2x + 3(x+9) = 52
→ 2x + 3x + 27 = 52
→ 5x = 52-27
→ 5x = 25
→ x = 5
Therefore, Smaller number = 5
Greater number = 5+9 = 14

Let one number be x. Then the other number will be x + 9.
Given, Sum of twice the smaller the smaller number and 3 times the larger.
2(x) + 3(x+9) = 52
2x + 3x + 27 = 52
5x + 27 = 52
5x = 25
x = 5.
5 + 9 = 14.
The numbers are 5 and 14.
