Question

a number is 6 more than two times another numbar.the sum of the two number is 24 .find the numbars.

Answer 1

$x = 6 + 2y \\ x + y = 24 \\ 6 + 2y + y = 24 \\ 6 + 3y = 24 \\ 2 + y = 8 \\ y = 6 \\ x = 6 + 2 \times 6 \\ = 6 + 12 \\ = 18$

Answer 2

Hi friend
---------------
Your answer
---------------------

Let one of the numbers be x.

Then,
------------

Another number = 2x + 6

According to the question,
-----------------------------------------

x + (2x + 6) = 24

=> x + 2x + 6 = 24

=> 3x = 24- 6

=> 3x = 18

=> x = 6

=> x = 6

Therefore,
-------------------

One number = x = 6

Another number = 2x + 6 = (2 × 6) + 6 = 12+ 6 = 18
