Question

A number is more than two times another number. the sum of two numbers is 24. find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of them be x. Then other = x + 2x = 3x

Now, x + 3x = 24

4x = 24

x = 6

So, 3x = 18

Answer 2

Answer: The numbers are 8 and 16.

Step-by-step explanation: This took me a little while to figure out because i overthink lol, but here's what I did:

1+23

2+22

3+21

4+20

5+19

6+18

7+17

8+16

9+15

10+14

11+13

12+12

13+11

14+10

15+9

16+8

17+7

18+6

19+5

20+4

21+3

22+2

23+1

24 +0

AS YOU CAN SEE, ALL THESE NUMBERS ADD UP TO 24. BUT ONLY ONE PAIR HAS ONE NUMBER THAT CAN BE MULTIPLIED BY TWO TO GET THE OTHER NUMBER.

Hope this helps! ^^
