Answer 2

✦ Question ✦

The sum of two numbers is 64 , and second number is 16 less than the first . Find the number.

Answer '-'

The first number ↠ 40.

The second number ↠ 24.

Given :-

Sum of numbers ↠ 64

Second number is 16 < than the first number

Have to Find :-

The unknown number .

Calculations :-

Here we go !

Consider the first number be ' x '

From this we get our Second number as ( x - 16 )

Now, as from the given :-

x + ( x - 16 ) = 64

↠ x + x = 64 + 16

↠ x + x = 80

↠ 2 x = 80

↠ x = 80 / 2

$\large{\boxed{\bold{x\:=\: 40}}}$

Therefore ,

First number ↠ 40 .

Second number =

↠ x - 16

↠ 40 - 16

↠ 24

Now ,

In order to check , whether it is correct !

Let's Verify !

$\large{\boxed{\bold{Verification :- \: }}}$

Substituting the values in the above equation .

$:\implies\tt{x + x - 16 = 64 }$

$:\implies\tt{40 + 24 = 64}$

$:\implies\pink{\tt{64 = 64 }}$

LHS = RHS
