Let x be the 1st number

If one number is twice of the other and their sum is 72 then the equation would be,

X + 2X = 72
3x=72
x=72/3
x=24

then the 1st number (x) is 24.
the second number is 24(2) = 48

:p have fun

Let:
x=first number
2x=second number

x+2x=72
3x=72
x=24

First number is 24, second number is 48
