The larger of two numbers is 9 more than twice the smaller The sum of the numbers is 3 less than five times the smaller?

Let's see.
If the smallest number is x, then the largest one is 2x + 9. Then,
x + 2x + 9 = 5x - 3 (we assume that this is true)
3x + 9 = 5x - 3 subtract 5x and 9 to both sides
-2x = -12 divide by -2 to both sides
x = 6
Since x = 6, then 2x + 9 = 2(6) + 9 = 12 + 9 = 21.
check:
6 + 21 = 5(6) - 3 ?
27 = 30 - 3 ?
27 = 27 True

Two angles are complementary the measure of the larger angle is twice the measure of the smaller angle find the measure of the larger angle?
the larger angle is 60 and the smaller angle is 30.complimentary angles are 2 angles forming 90 degrees.
The difference between two numbers is 11 Twice the smaller number plus three times the larger number is 123?
L = S + 11; 2S + 3(S + 11) = 123, ie 2S + 3S + 33 = 123ie 5S = 90 ie S = 18 and L = 29
The difference of two positive numbers is 16. One number is 3 times the other. Find the two numbers?
If the higher is 3 times the lower, the difference must be twice the lower so the numbers are 8 and 24.
What The sum of two numbers is 15. Twice one number equals three times the other.Find the numbers.?
6 and 9. If you take 6 and multiply it times 3, it is 18. If you take 9 and multiply it times 2, it equals 18.

How do their areas compare when one rectangle is twice as long as the other?
Area of a rectangle is Base(B) times Height(H).Area of smaller rectangle is BH.Area of larger rectangle is 2BH.Area of larger rectangle is twice as large as the smaller rectangle.
The sum of two odd numbers is 46 The larger number is more than twice the smaller number Find the numbers?
If the larger number can be anything more than twice the smaller number, then the two numbers can be:1 + 45 = 463 + 43 = 465 + 41 = 467 + 39 = 469 + 37 = 4611 + 35 = 4613 + 33 = 4615 + 31 = 46
The sum of two numbers is twenty-one Twice the larger number is four times the smaller number Find the two numbers?
