Question

6 times a number plus 3 times a second number is 27. the second number is 1 more than 2 times the first number what is the second number

Answer 1

Answer:

5 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

number = n

second number = s

6n + 3s = 27

2n + 1 = s

6n + 3(2n + 1) = 27

6n + 6n + 1 = 27

12n = 26

n = 26/12

n = 2 1/6

2(2 1/6) + 1 = s

4 1/3 + 1 = s

5 1/3 = s
