    3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First number (the smaller number) is x, second number is (x+3).

    Larger number (x+3), and it is twice the smaller number (x),

    so

    x+3=2x

    2x-x=3

    x=3

    3 and 6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Lets define the smaller number as x.

    The larger number is twice the smaller number, therefore the larger number is 2x.

    It is given that the larger number is 3 more than the smaller number.

    2x - x = 3

    x = 3

    The smaller number is x which is 3.

    The larger number is 2x which is 2 (3), that is 6.
