number. Find the numbers.please answer step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 AND 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller one be x

So the greater one will be 2x + 1

=> (2x - 1) - (x) = 16

=> x - 1 = 16

=> x = 15 ( by transposition)

smaller one is 15 and the greater on is 31 [2 * 15 + 1]

Answer 2

★Given :

➙ The difference between two numbers = 16

➙ The greater number is twice more than the smaller .

★Considering :

➙ Let the smaller number be 'x' so according to Question the greater number will be '2x+1'

★Solution :

• According to Question :

➙ ( 2x + 1 ) - x = 16

᠉ x + 1 = 16

᠉ x = 16 - 1

᠉ x = 15

THEREFORE ,

➙ Smaller number = x = 15

➙ Greater number = 2x+1 = 2 × 15 + 1 = 31
