The sum of two numbers is 27. One number is 2 times as large as the other. What are the numbers? Larger number:
Smaller number: ​

Let x be the larger number, and y be the smaller number.  

The sum of two numbers is 27. So the equation would be:

x+y=27

The larger number is 3 more than the smaller number. So:  

larger number = smaller number + 3  

or  

x=y+3

Now, we want to get rid of x and solve for y first. Since x=y+3, we can substitute y+3 for x in the equation x+y=27.  

Therefore:

(y + 3) + y = 27  

Combine like terms:

2y + 3 = 27  

Subtract 3 on both sides:

2y = 24  

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 12  

So the smaller number is 12. The larger number is 3 more than the smaller number, so:  

x = 12 + 3

x = 15  

The 2 numbers are 12 and 15. Check:  

12 + 15 = 27

I'm not 100% sure of which equation so I used both.

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 27

20 + 7 = 27

(a × 2) + b = 27

(6.75 × 2) + 13.5 = 27
