Question

divide 20 into two parts such that one part is 8 more than the other. what are the two parts​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two parts are 14 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one part be x . Then other part is 20 -x.

Now,

20 - x = x + 8

2x = 28

x = 14

One part is1 4

Other part us 20 - x = 20 - 14 = 6

Hence the two parts are 14 and 6.

Answer 2

Answer:

6 And 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be x

x + 8 = 20 - x

x + x = 20 + 8

2x = 28

x = 14

Therefore, the greater number is 14

The smaller number is-

20 - x = 20 - 14 = 6
