Answer 6

Heres the question: One number is twice as large as the second. The sum of the two numbers is 366. What is the smaller number?

Answer 7

n + 2n = 366

solve for n

Answer 8

Let x = smaller number.

Then 2x = larger number.

Answer 9

smaller + larger = 366

x + 2x = 366

Answer 10

I'm still not really sure what to do... Can someone please walk me through it?

Answer 11

What is x + 2x = ?

Answer 12

x + 2x = 366

Answer 13

x + 2x = ( 1 + 2 ) x = 3x

Answer 14

I'm not sure how to solve that equation ;(

Answer 15

Replace x + 2x with 3x

Answer 16

ohh okay so now it would be 3x = 366? Then divide 366 by 3?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

Yes, that means you are dividing both sides by 3.

Answer 19

okay, so the answer I got was 122. Is that right?

Answer 20
