The sum of two numbers is twice the difference between them. If the smaller number is 20, find the bigger number.

The sum of two numbers is twice the difference between them. If the smaller number is 20, find the bigger number. Correct Answer 60

Let the bigger number be B. ATQ, B + 20 = 2(B - 20) or,  B + 20 = 2B - 40 or,  2B - B = 40 + 20 or,  B = 60
