Answer:

30, 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be [tex]x[/tex]. Then, the other number is [tex]2x+20[/tex]. The sum is 110, so

[tex]x+(2x+20)=110.[/tex]

Simplifying gives

[tex]3x+20=110[/tex].

Subtracting 20 from both sides gives

[tex]3x=90[/tex].

Dividing by 3 gives

[tex]x=30[/tex].

The smaller number is 30 and the larger number is 2(30)+20=80.
