Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number is x,

then the other number will be 2x + 6.

Their sum is 24.

ie, x + 2x + 6 = 24

3x + 6 = 24

3x = 24 - 6 = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

2x + 6 = 2*6 + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18

So the numbers are 6 and 18
