Question 87526: one number is 12 more then another, the sum of the smaller number and twice the larger number is 39 find the large number x= the first number and y= the second number so is it 12 + x = y or 2x +y = 32

Simplify this:
x = smaller number
x + 12 = larger number
x + 2(x + 12) = 39
x + 2x + 24 = 39
3x = 15
x = 5
5 and 17
