One number is 6 more than a second number.The sum of the two numbers is 16. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

If one number is 6 more than the other number and the sum of the two numbers is 16,

then the numbers are 11 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers where x is the first and y is the second number respectively.

Given that x =y+6

And x+y= 16

As x = y+6,

x+y = (y+6)+ y

That is (y+6)+y = 16

2y+6= 16

2y = 16-6

2y = 10

y = 10/2 = 5

So, x = y+6

=5+6 = 11

Therefore, the two numbers are 11 and 5
