Question

One sixth of the difference between two numbers is 3 and half of their is 10 . Find the number.

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two no. be X and Y

now, their difference is

1/6 (X-Y) = 3

X-Y = 24

now half of the sum is 10

1/2(x+y) = 10

X+Y = 20

from 1 and 2 eq. we have

X - Y + X + Y= 24+20

2X = 44

X = 22

from x+ y = 20

22 + y = 20

Y = -2
