Question

the sum of two number is 72 if one number of the number is 6 more than the other find the numbers.

Answer 1

let first number be A,

then second number=(A+6),

now according to the question, we have

A+(A+6)=72,

2A+6=72,

2A=72-6,

2A=66,

then

A=33,


therefore

first number=33,

second number=33+6=39

Answer 2

Answer :-

__________________________

Given ,

The sum of two numbers is 72

Now , Let one number be x

So , the second number will be ( x + 6 )

Now as the question we can say ,

x + ( x + 6 ) = 72

2x + 6 = 72

2x = 72 - 6

x = 66 / 2

x = 33

So , the one number is ( x ) = 33

And the second is ( x + 6 ) = 33 + 6 = 39
