Question

the sum of two number is 37 .find the number if one number is 1 more than twice the other.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let 1st be x

x+2x+1=37

3x=36

x=12

Answer 2

Answer:

Then, the two numbers are 12 and 25 respectively whose sum is 37 and one number is 1 more than twice the other .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one number be x.

Then,

The other number be (2x + 1).

According to the question

Sum of the numbers = 37 (given)

x + (2x + 1) = 37

3x + 1 = 37

3x = 37 - 1

3x = 36

x = 36/3

x = 12

(2x + 1) =( 2 × 12 ) + 1 =24 + 1 = 25

Then, the two numbers are 12 and 25 respectively whose sum is 37 and one number is 1 more than twice the other .
