The difference between two whole numbers is 9. Twice the smaller number is 6 more than the larger. What is the smaller number?

Respuesta :

Answer = 3
Explanation:
27/3= 9
3x2= 6

The smaller number is 15

let

the larger number = x

the smaller number = y

Therefore,

The difference between the two whole numbers is 9 can be express as follows:

  • x - y = 9

Twice the smaller number is 6 more than the larger. Therefore,

  • 2y = x + 6

Combine the equation.

x - y = 9

-x + 2y = 6

y = 15

x - 15 = 9

x = 9 + 15

x = 24

Therefore,

The larger number = 24

The smaller number = 15
