The sum of two numbers is 27. the larger number is 6 more than twice the smaller number. what are the numbers?

Let the smaller number be x

Then the sum is

(6 + 2x) + x = 27

We now find for x

2x + x + 6 = 27

3x + 6 = 27

3x = 27-6

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Therefore the smaller number is 7

The larger number is (2×7) + 6 = 20

24/56=hx^7

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
