Question

the sum of 2 numbers are 64 if one nuber is 24 more than the other nuber find the numbers
​

Answer 1

Given: Sum of 2 numbers is 64 and one number is greater than other by 24

To find: Both the numbers

Explanation: Let the smaller number be x.

Therefore, other number= x+24

Now, sum= 64

=> x+x+24= 64

=> 2x= 64-24

=> 2x = 40

=> x= 40/2 = 20

Other number= x+24 = 20+24

= 44

Therefore, both the numbers are 20 and 44.

Answer 2

Answer:

let one number = 24

sum of two numbers given = 64

let the unknown number = x

so 64-24= 40

x= 20

24+40=64(proof)
