Jane · Answer 1

One number is 2 times another

x=2y

sum is 90

x+y=90

easy

x=2y

sub 2y for x

2y+y=90

3y=90

divide both sides by 3

y=30

sub back

x=2y

x=2 (30)

x=60

the numbers are 60 and 30

Ismael Shelton · Answer 2

1st number is x

other number is 2 times = 2x

sum of the numbers is 90: x + 2x = 90

Solve for x

x + 2x = 90

3x = 90

x = 30

First number = 30

second number = 2x = 2 (30) = 60
