Answer:
6 is the smaller number
21 is the larger number
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be x
2x + 9 is the larger number
2x + 9 + x = 27
Now, just solve this equation
2x+9+x = 27
2x + x = 27 - 9
2x + x = 18
3x = 18
x = 18 ÷ 3
x = 6
So, the smaller number is 6
The larger number is 21
You can verify it to see if its corrects
Hope it helps
