Grant is thinking of two numbers. He says that one of the numbers is twice the other number and the sum of the numbers is 39. What are the numbers?

I divided by 3 then multiplied by 2. 13 and 26 = 39

The **numbers are 13 **and **26 **if the Grant is thinking of two numbers . He says that **one **of the **numbers **is **twice **the **other number **and the **sum **of the number is 39 .
What is a linear equation?
It is defined as the **relation **between two variables , if we plot the graph of the **linear equation **we will get a straight line .
If in the linear equation , one variable is present, then the **equation **is known as the **linear **equation in one variable .
Let x be the first number and y be the second number:
Then,
x = 2y
x + y = 39
Plug x = 2y in the other equation:
2y + y = 39
3y = 39
y = 13
x = 26
Thus, the **numbers are 13 **and **26 **if the Grant is thinking of two numbers . He says that **one **of the **numbers **is **twice **the **other number **and the **sum **of the number is 39 .

Grant is thinking of the numbers 13 and 26. One number (26) is twice the other number (13), and their sum is 39. We solved the problem using two equations to find these numbers.
