1. Let one number be x.
2. The other number is more than twice the first number. So, it becomes 2x + 1 .
3. The sum of the numbers is:
x + 2x + 1 = 91
4. Simplify to find x :
3x + 1 = 91
5. Solve for x :
3x = 90
x = 30
6. Find the second number:
2x + 1 = 61
7. Check the sum:
30 + 61 = 91
So the two numbers are 30 and 61.
