Answer:
13 and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
create an equation to solve:
(2x-3) + x = 36
3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms
+3 +3 add 3 to both sides
3x = 39
3 3 divide both sides by 3
x = 13
13 is the first number
the 2nd number is 3 let than twice the first so we create and solve a new equation:
2x - 3 = ?
2(13) = ? substitute 13 from the
smaller number to solve
23 = the 2nd number
