Question

the difference between two integers is 2. the larger integer is 6 less than twice the smaller. find the integers.

Answer 1

Let x and x+2(since,the difference b/w these no.s is 2,the largest number will be 2 greater than the smallest one) be the integers.given,the largest integer is 6 less than twice the smallest integer. i.e,2x-(x+2)=6 i.e,2x-x-2=6 i.e,x-2=6 i.e,x=6+2 i.e,x=8

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x

Larger no. 2x-6

So, 2x-x-6= 8

Smaller no. 8

Larger no. 8*2-6=16-6=10
