Question

sum of the two number is 40. what is the mathematical form of the statement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans: 22 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be x

and smaller number be y

As per the question, we have

x+y=40 ....(1)

and 2y=14+x ....(2)

Therefore, y=

2

14+x

....(3)

Substitute this value of y in equation (1), we get

x+

2

14+x

=40

⇒2x+14+x=80

⇒3x=80−14

⇒3x=66

⇒x=22

Put this value of x in equation (3),

y=

2

14+22

⇒y=18

therefore, the two numbers are 22 and 18.
