The sum of a number and its double is 27. Find all such numbers
thanks steve and ms sue. is there is any other method plzz tell
I don't know of any other method.
n + 2n = 27
3n = 27
n = 9
To find the numbers, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the number is represented by "x".
According to the statement, the sum of the number and its double is 27. Mathematically, we can write this as:
x + 2x = 27
Combining like terms:
3x = 27
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 3:
(3x) / 3 = 27 / 3
x = 9
Therefore, the number that satisfies the condition is 9.
There is only one number that meets the criteria.
