Question

Sum of two numbers is 32 if one number is more the other by 6 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

x+6+x=32

x+x=32-6=26

2x=26

x=26÷2

x=13

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

The sum of two numbers is 32. Therefore

x + y = 32

x = 32 - y…Eq..1

their difference is 24

x - y = 24 …Eq..2

Substituting the value of x from Eq..1 to Eq..2

x - y = 24

(32 - y) - y = 24

32 - y - y = 24

—2y = 24 - 32

--2y = —8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Substituting the derived value of y in Eq..1 to derive value of x

x = 32 - y

x = 32 - 4

x = 28

The two numbers are 28 and 4

Now the product of these two numbers

Product = x × y = 28 × 4 = 112

The product of these two numbers is 112

Answer: The product of two numbers is 112.
