Question

A number is twice another number. If their sum is 96,what r d numbers?

Answer 1

Let two number be x and y.

Given, x = 2y

x + y = 96

2y+y = 96

3y = 96

y=(96/3) = 32.

x = 2y = 2 × (32) = 64.

Two numbers are 32 and 64.

Answer 2

Answer:

The greater number is 64 and the smaller number is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the greater number be X and smaller number be Y

According to the 1st condition

X = 2Y

According to 2nd condition

X + Y = 96

Substitute X = 2Y in the above equation

2Y + Y = 96

Y = 96/3

Y = 32

and X = 2Y therefore X = 2 x 32 i.e. X = 64

hope it will help.
