Question

A number is 6 more than 2 times another number .the sum of the 2 numbers is 24 find the nimnbers

Answer 1

Answer:

let first number be x.

let anothere number be y.

therefore x=2y+6

but x+y=24

x=2(y+3)

x/2=y+3

x-2y/2=3

x-2y=6

x+y-3y=6

24-3y=6

24/6=3y

4/3=y

therefore y=4/3

but x=2y+6

=2*4/3+6

=6+24/6

=30/6

=5

therefore x=5

Answer 2

Hello Friend

Here is your answer

Let the another number be x

So,

The first number is 6 more than 2 times the another number

= 2 × x + 6

= 2x + 6

Now,

Given:

Sum of the numbers = 24

So,

$x + 2x + 6 = 24 \\ \\ 3x + 6 = 24 \\ \\ 3x = 24 - 6 \\ \\ 3x = 18 \\ \\ x = \frac{18}{3} \\ \\ x = 6$
So,

The another number is 6

And,

The first number = 2 × 6 + 6

= 18

Check:

$x + 2x + 6 = 24 \\ \\ 3x + 6 = 24 \\ \\ 3(6) + 6 = 24 \\ \\ 18 + 6 = 24 \\ \\ 24 = 24 \\ \\ hence \: verified...$
