Answer 1

Hey User!!!

according to the question, the sum of two numbers is 56 and one of the number is 8 more than the other.

let one of the two number be x. therefore the other number is x + 8

>> x + x + 8 = 56

>> 2x = 56 - 8

>> 2x = 48

>> x = 48/2

>> x = 24

hence, the numbers are :-

x = 24 and x + 8 = 24 + 8 = 32

the numbers are 24 and 32.

Cheers!!!

Answer 2

Hello!

Let the one number be $\bf{x}$
Then, the other number be $\bf{x+8}$

Then,

$\sf x + x + 8 = 56 \\ \\ \implies \sf 2x + 8 = 56 \\ \\ \implies \sf 2x = 56-8 \\ \\ \implies \sf 2x = 48 \\ \\ \implies \sf x = \dfrac{48}{2} \implies \sf \boxed{\red{\bf{x = 24}}}$

Hence,

• x = $\underline{24}$
• x + 8 = 24 + 8 = $\underline{32}$

Cheers!
