You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of two numbers is 72. One of the numbers is six more than twice the other. What are the two numbers?
-----------------------------------
x + y = 72
x = 2y+6
--------------
Substitue to solve for "y":
2y+6 + y = 72
3y + 6 = 72
3y = 66
y = 22
------------
x = 2*22+6
x = 50
