is it 35 and 39 if we add it will be 65 and if we divide 30 by 3 it will be 10

Answer 2

Given :

• Sum of two numbers is 65
• First number is twice and 10 more than the second number.

To Find :

• What are the numbers?

Solution :

Let the first number be x

Then the other be 2x + 10

According to the question,

x + 2x + 10 = 65

3x = 65 - 10

3x = 55

x = 55/3

and the second number is 2x + 10

55/3 * 2 + 10

110/3 + 10

110 + 30/3

= 140/3
