Question

3. A number is 6 more than two times another number. The sum of the two numbers is 24. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first no. be = x

ATQ,

         second no. =  2x+6(2 times original number and 6 is added, that is all)

and their sum=

(x)+(2x+6)=24

x+2x+6=24

3x=18

x=6

2x+6= 2*6+6

=18

to check,

6+18=24

Answer 2

hi friend,

hi friend,your question:

A number is 6 more than two times another number. The sum of the two numbers is 24. Find the numbers.

Answer with step by step explanation:

Let the two numbers be X and Y respectively .

according to the question ,

x = 2y + 6

x + y = 24

step by step explanation:

x + y = 24

=>x = 24 - y

now we get two equations,

(I) x = 2y + 6

(ii) x = 24 - y

then x = 2y + 6 = 24 - y

=> 2y + 6 = 24 - y

=> 2y + y = 24 -6

=> 3y = 18

=> y = 18/3

=> y = 6

now we know the value of y as 6.

there are two methods for finding the value of x:

#1. x = 2y + 6

=> x = 2 × 6 + 6

=> x = 12 + 6

=> x = 18

#2. x = 24 - y

=>x = 24 - 6

=>x = 18

hence, the value of x and y are 18 and 6 respectively .
