Respuesta :

The two numbers should be 17 and 51 respectively.

Given that

  • Let us assume the other number be x.
  • And, the one number be 3x.
  • Now if 17 is added to each , so the first number should be twice of the second.

So, the following equation should be

3x + 17 = 2(x + 17)

x + 17 = 2x + 34

x = 17

So, we can conclude that the two numbers should be 17 and 51 respectively.
