One number is 2 times another number plus 3. Their sum is 21.

"One number is 2 times another number plus 3" translated to

x = smaller number = another number

It is also given that: Their sum is 21.

Answer:

I do questions like these everyday so I have too much experience. Let me explain step by step for you.

Brainliest?

First lets set 2 variables x and y

Lets make 2 equations.

x=3+2*y

Thats because it says 'x' is 3 more (+) than 2 times(*) 'y'

Now lets set second, we know both of them add up to 27.

x+y = 27

Since we know what x is equal to (look above equation)

We can replace it.

x is replaced with 3+2*y

3+2y+y = 27

3+4y = 27

Simplify 27-3 = 24

24/4 = 6

Now lets plug in for x

3+2*6 = 15

15 - x

6 - y
