Answer 2

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• The sum of two numbers is 18.
• One of the numbers exceeds other by 6.

To Find :-

• Both the numbers.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let

• The first number be x
• The second number be x + 6

As we know that :-

First number + second number = 18

x + x + 6 = 18

2x + 6 = 18

2x = 18 - 6

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

Hence,

The first number = x = 6

The second number = x + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12
