Question

A number is 4 more than the other. Find the numbers if their sum is 48

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be X and the other number be X+4

given

X+X+4 = 48

2x+4=48

2x=44

X= 22

Answer 2

Answer:

Let both the no. be x

therefore,the other no. will be x+4

therefore the equation will be,

x+x+4=48

2x+4=48

2x=48-4

2x=44

x=44/2=22

the first no. =x =22

therefore the second number =x+4

=22+4=26

Final statement:The first no. will be 22 and the second no. will be 26
