Question

sum of two numbers is 45 the greater number is eight more than the smaller number. (take the smaller number to be n)​

Answer 1

Answer:

greater number = 40

Smaller number = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smallest number be n

so

as given in question that the greater number is eight more than the smaller number. means 8n

8n+n=45

9n=45

n=45/9

n=5

Greatest number 8n = 8x5=40

Smallest number n = 5

so

40 + 5 = 45

Answer 2

Answer:

m = 26.5 , n = 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be m , n

m + n = 45

m = 8 + n

m - n = 8

---------------

Adding both equation :

2m = 45 + 8

2m = 53

m = 53/2

m = 26.5

Since,

m - n = 8

m - 8 = n

n = 26.5 - 8

n = 18.5
