Question

sum of two numbers is 36. If 9 is subtracted from 8 times the first number, we get
second number. To find the numbers complete the following:
Let first number = x, second number = y
According to first condition
Equation (1) is
According to second condition
Equation (2) is
For value of x - Adding both the equations
x=
y​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

y = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sum of two numbers (x+y) = 36. --(1)

If 9 is subtracted from 8 times the first number, we get second number: 8x - 9 = y

8x - y = 9 ---(2)

Add (1) & (2)

» 9x = 36+9

9x = 45

x = 5 ----(3)

Substitute (3) in (1)

» y = 36-5

y = 31

Therefore, The numbers are 5,31

Answer 2

Let the numbers be x and y

Then by the given conditions,

x+y = 36          -----(1)

8x - 9 = y         -----(2)

Substituting (2) in (1)

x + 8x - 9 = 36

9x = 45

x = 5

y = 36 - x = 36-5

y = 31

Therefore the numbers are 5 and 31
