Question

Divide 38 in two parts such that one part is 18 more than the other. Find the values of the 2 parts

Answer 1

Answer:

let the first part be x

and,let the second part be x+18

according to the question,

38=x+(x+ 18)

38=2x+18

2x=38-18

2x=20

x=20/2

x=10

so, the first part is 10

and the second part is 10+18=28
