Let the first number be x. The second number is then 2x+1. So your equation is x + 2x + 1 = 70. You should be able to solve it from there.

The people who just give you answers aren't helping you - you aren't learning anything, and when you're taking your exams, you aren't going to be able to ask for help on Yahoo Answers.
