Question

Sum of two number is 39 the greater number is 7 more than the smaller number intake the smaller number to be n

Answer 1

Answer:

smaller no. is n = 16

greater no. is ( 7 + n ) = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that greater no. is 7 more than the smaller no. => the greater no. is ( 7 + n ) where 'n' is the smaller no.

• also their sum is 39

n + ( 7 + n ) = 39

2n + 7 = 39

2n = 39 - 7

2n = 32

n = 32/2

n = 16

( 7 + n ) = 7 + 16 = 23

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller number is n

and greater number is n+7

it is given that the sum of these numbers is 39

n+(7+n)= 39

2n + 7 = 39

2n = 32

n = 32/2

n = 16

hence the smaller number = n = 16

and the greater number = n+7 = 16+7 = 23
