The sum of two numbers is 15. Twice one number equals 3 times the other. Find the numbers

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y =15

2x = 3y             Set up system of equations

x = [tex]\frac{3y}{2}[/tex]             Solve for x

[tex]\frac{3y}{2}[/tex] + y = 15     Substitute

3y + 2y = 30

y = 6

x = 9

The numbers should be 7 and 8
