Verified answer

Answer:

Let one number be x.

So, the second number =3x

According to the given condition,

3x+17=2(x+17)

⇒3x+17=2x+34

⇒3x−2x=34−17

⇒x=17

Therefore, one number =17 and second number =3×17=51

Step-by-step explanation:

let another number be x

first number = 3x

17 added to both

another number be x +17

first number = 3x +17

then

3x +17 = 2(x +17)

3x +17 = 2x + 34

x = 17

another number be x = 17

first number = 3x = 51
