The larger of two numbers is twelve more than the twice smaller number. The sum of the numbers is 42. Find the two numbers . Please set up a , set up the equation , and then solve the equation .

             The smaller number:  a = 10

             The larger number is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

a - the smaller number

2a - twice the smaller number

2a+12   - twelve more than the twice smaller number (the larger number)

a + 2a+12  - the sum of the numbers

a + 2a+12 = 42

     -12              -12

          3a  =  30

          ÷3       ÷3

            a = 10

2a+12 = 2×10+12 = 20+12 = 32

Check:   10+32=42

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.      

hope this .

66.666666667%
