Question

Among two numbers one is 4 more than other, sum is 40.Take small number as y and large as x.
a) write two equations using this data
b) find the numbers from the equation ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) two equation s are

x=y+4

x+y=40

b)the numbers are 18 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

small number is y

large is 4 more than small

so large is y+4

according ti question,

x=y+4

again,

x+y=40

putting the value of x

y+4+y=40

=> 2y=40-4=36

=> y=36/2=18

x=y+4=18+4=22
