Question 1012110: Two consecutive numbers are such that three times the smaller one added to twice the bigger one is 27. Find the number? Answer by ValorousDawn(53) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Lets say the bigger number is y, and the smaller number is x. If they're consecutive, then y=x+1.
Three times the smaller one is 3x, added to twice to the bigger one is 2y. They add to 27, to get the equation
We use substitution y=x+1 to get and solve.
