One number is 3 more than 2 times the other, and their sum is 27. find the numbers. if x represents the smaller number, then the larger number is 3x + 2 2x + 3 2(x + 3) look at the answer choices ! and hurry

2(x+3) is the answer

The word after 2 is times and that means multiply and having the 2 outside the parenthesis is the only indication of multiplication

X represents One and directly after that is 3 more.More, in this case, means addition.

With both of those reasons 2(x+3) is the correct answer
