Question

The sum of two is 87 .if twice the smaller no.is added to the larger no.the results is 120.find the larger no.

Answer 1

Let the Smallest number = x

the another number = 87 - x

So, according to the equation:

2x + 87 - x = 120

x + 87 = 120

x = 120 - 87

x = 33

Then, the Largest number = 87 - 33

= 54

Hope my answer is correct.....
