Question

The sum of two number is 26. lf one of the number is 10 more than the other, find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x

and the other number be x+ 10

x + x + 10 = 26

2x + 10 = 26

2x = 26- 10

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

Answer 2

☆ Given :

• Sum of two numbers is 26.
• One number is 10 more than the other.

☆ To find :

• The numbers.

☆ Solution :

Let the first number be x

Then second number will be x + 10

According to Question,

⟼ x + x + 10 = 26

⟼ 2x + 10 = 26

⟼ 2x = 26 - 10

⟼ 2x = 16

⟼ x = 16/2

⟼ x = 8

Therefore,

• The first number = x = 8
• The second number = x+10 = 8+10 = 18

Verification :

Sum of two numbers = 26 (Given)

→ 26 = 8 + 18

→ 26 = 26

Hence, both sides are equal.

Thus, checked.
