Answer:

x = -6

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 3

x + y = 3

twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number

2y = 3x + 36

Divide both sides by 2

y = 1.5x + 18

substitute for y in the first equation

x + (1.5x + 18) = 3

2.5x = -15

divide both sides by 2.5

x = -6

Substitute for x in the first equation

-6 + y = 3

y = 9

The sum of two numbers is 3, and twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number. The number are x = -6 and y = 9.

What is linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation in which each term has at max one degree.

Linear equation in variable x and y can be written in the form y = mx + c

Linear equation with two variables, when graphed on a cartesian plane

with axes of those variables, give a straight line.

It is given that the sum of two numbers is 3.

x + y = 3

Also, twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number, then

2y = 3x + 36

Divide both sides by 2

y = 1.5x + 18

By substituting for y in the first equation

x + (1.5x + 18) = 3

2.5x = -15

now, divide both sides by 2.5

x = -6

Substitute for x in the first equation

-6 + y = 3

y = 9
