Hey there!!

First, Let’s take the number as ‘ x ‘

Given : the bigger number is 18 more than twice the smaller number.

Small number - x
Bigger number - 2x + 18

Their sum = 93

Equation :

x + 2x + 18 = 93

3x + 18 = 93

Subtract 18 on both sides

3x = 75

Divide 3 on both sides

x = 25

Hence , small number is 25

Small number + big number = 93

25 + big number = 93

Big number = 93 - 35

Big number = 68

Hope my answer helps!!
