Given that; What are the numbers? x + 2x = 72
-there are two numbers, 3x 72
=
-one number is twice the 3 3
other x = 24 first number
We can let x as our first
number and 2x as our 2x=2(24)=48 second
second number number

Hence, from “There are Thus, the numbers are 24

two numbers whose sum and 48
is 72” we can now say that
Checking
x+2x=72 24+48=72
72=72 ✓
