4 represents 36 divide by 6 and multiply by 4=24

Answer 2

★ Answer ↓

________________________________

→ Let the two numbers be 2x and 4x, then

=⟩ According to question :-

→ 2x + 4x = 36

→ 6x = 36

→ x = $\dfrac{36}{6}$

→ x = 6

________________________________

Therefore,

First Number = 2x = 2(6) = 12

Second Number = 4x = 4(6) = 24

________________________________

★ Verification ↓

________________________________

→ 2x + 4x = 36

→ 6x = 36

→ 6(6) = 36

→ 36 = 36

→ LHS = RHS

LHS = RHS Hence, verified.
