Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
First number( the smaller number) is x, second number is (x+3).
Larger number (x+3), and it is twice the smaller number (x),
so
x+3=2x
2x-x=3
x=3
Answer:
3 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets define the smaller number as x.
The larger number is twice the smaller number, therefore the larger number is 2x.
It is given that the larger number is 3 more than the smaller number.
2x - x = 3
x = 3
The smaller number is x which is 3.
The larger number is 2x which is 2(3), that is 6.
