Question

a number is 6 more then another number.if their sum is 24.find the no.

Answer 1

HI

LET THE NUMBER BE X

OTHER NUMBER = X +6

SUM IS 24

SO LETS FORM AN EUQATION

X +X+6 = 24

2X +6 = 24

2X = 24 - 6

2X = 18

X = 9

OTHER NO. X +6 = 9 +6

= 15

SO THE NUMBERS ARE 6,15

:)

Answer 2

Let one number be 'x'.

According to the question,

Second number will be 'x + 6'.

Sum of two numbers = 24

=> x + x + 6 = 24

=> 2x = 24 - 6

=> 2x = 18

=> x = 9

First number = 9
Second number = 9 + 6 = 15
