the difference of two numbers is 6.
x - y = 6
find the number if one number is 1/4 of other.
x/4 = y
Substitute into:
x - y = 6
x - x/4 = 6
Common denominator = 4
4x - x = 24
3x = 24
x = 8
x - y = 6
8 - y = 6
-y = 6 - 8
y = 2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be ‘x’
Let the one fourth of the number be 1/4 x
Then,
X-1/4x=6
X-x/4 =6
4x-x/4=6
3x/4=6
3x=4x6
3x=24
X=24/3
X=8/1
x=8
Other number= x/4 = 8/4 (four cuts four, and 4x2=8
So our answer is,
Other number= 2
