Answer:
write a formula
27=x +(2x+3)
2x+x = 3x

Answer:
8 is the smaller number.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given the statement question.
We have to find the smaller number.
Let the smaller number is x.
From the statement the associated equation is:
x+(2x+3) = 27
We have to find the value of x.
x+(2x+3) = 27
x+2x+3 =27
3x+3 = 27
3x = 27 -3
3x = 24
x = 8
8 is the smaller number.
