the sum of two numbers is 87. One of the numbers is 6 more than twice the other. what are the two numbers?

27 and 60

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say the first number 'a' and the second number 'b'

1) The question says the sum of two number is 87 which means a + b = 87given 1

2) we have another given which says one of the number is 6 morethan twice the other which means a = 2b + 6 given 2

a + b = 87

2b + 6 + b = 87 (we substitute 'a' with the given 2b + 6)

3b + 6 = 87

3b = 87 - 6

3b = 81

3b = 81

3 3

b = 27 the first number

a = 2b + 6

a = 2 × 27 + 6

a = 54 + 6

a = 60 the second number
