a number is 6 more than two times another number the sum of two numbers is 24 find the numbers

Answer 1

let the other no. be= x

the 1st no. will be = (2x+6)

sum = 24

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

=2x+x+6=24

=3x+6=24

3x= 24-6=18

x=18÷3=6

1st no. will be = (2x+ 6)= (2*6)+6=12+6=18

2nd no.will be = x=6
