Question

A number is twice another number .If their sum is 132,what are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Given :-

• A number is twice another number
• Their sum is 132

To Find :-

• What are the numbers ?

Solution :-

Given :

• A number is twice another

Let,

The numbers

• x
• 2x

And,

Their sum is 132

According to the question by substituting those values we get,

$\tt: \implies \: \: x + 2x \: = \: 132$

$\tt: \implies \: \: 3x \: = \: 132$

$\displaystyle \tt: \implies \: \: x \: = \: \cancel\frac{132}{3}$

$\displaystyle \tt: \implies \: \: x \: = \: \frac{44}{1}$

$\displaystyle \bf: \implies \: \red{ \: x \: = \: 44}$

Now,

$⇢ \bf \: One \: number \: = \: x$

$⇢\red{ \bf \: One \: number \: = \: 44}$

$⇢ \bf \: Other \: number \: = \: 2x$

$⇢ \bf \: Other \: number \: = \: 2(44)$

$⇢\red{ \bf \: Other \: number \: = \: 88}$

❝ Hence, The numbers are 44 and 88 . ❞

Answer 2

$\small \sf \blue{ \underline{ \red{question}}}$

A number is twice another number .If their sum is 132,what are the numbers?

GIVEN :-

• 1st number = x
• 2nd number = 2x
• Sum of the numbers = 132

$\small \sf \blue{ \underline{ \red{question}}}$

So, By the given data,

$\sf\orange{x\:+\:2x\:=\:132}$

➸ x + 2x = 132

➸ 3x = 132

➸ x = 132/2

➸ x = 44

So, $\sf\purple{\underline{{2}^{nd}\:number\:=\:2(44)\:=\:88}}$

$\sf\mathfrak\purple{\underline{Final\:Answer:-}}$

➻ 1st number = 44

➻ 2nd number = 88
