The aum of 2 numbers is 72. one number is twice the other what are the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

24 and 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be  a and b

sum of two numbers = 72

⇒ a + b = 72 --- equation 1

one number is twice the other

⇒ a = 2b

substitute a = 2b in equation 1

⇒ 2b + b = 72

⇒ 3b = 72

⇒ b = 72 / 3

⇒ b = 24

substitute b = 24 in a = 2b

⇒ a = 2b

⇒ a = 2 x 24

⇒ a = 48

the two numbers are 24 and 48
