Given:
✰ One number is half the other.
✰ Sum of two numbers = 6
To find:
✠ The numbers.
Solution:
Let's understand the concept. First we will assume that the other number be x and we know that the one number is half the other that means 1/2 of the the other number. 1/2 × the other number i.e, 1/2 × x. We can write it as x/2. Now, after that together they are equal to 6 which means that the sum of these to numbers is equal to 6. So, we will add these numbers and their sum will equal to 6. Thus, we will get one equation by following these steps. After that doing required calculations we can easily find both the numbers.
Let's find out...
Let the first number be x
Let the first number be xthen, the second number be x/2
According to question,
➤ x + x/2 = 6
Taking L.C.M
➤ (2x + x)/2 = 6
➤ 2x + x = 6 × 2
➤ 2x + x = 12
➤ 3x = 12
➤ x = 12/3
➤ x = 4
∴ The first number = 4
Now,
⟹ Second number = x/2
⟹ Second number = 4/2
⟹ Second number = 2
∴ The second number = 2
Verification:
L.H.S
⟹ 4 + 2
⟹ 6
= R.H.S
