Question

The sum of two numbers is 345678 if one number is sixteen thousand sixteen greater than the other number what is the greatest number

Answer 1

let the numbers be a and b.
given.
a-b = 16016
so b= a - 16016
also a+b = 345678
a + a - 16016 = 345678
2a = 345678+16016

2a = 361694
a = 361694/2
a = 180847
greatest number is a

Answer 2

Answer:

The greatest number is 180847

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first number be x

Given that one number is sixteen thousand sixteen greater than the other number

⇒ Other number = x + 16016

Also, The sum of both the numbers is 34568

So, x + x + 16016 = 345678

⇒ 2x + 16016 = 345678

⇒ 2x = 329662

⇒ x = 164831

Other number = x + 16016

⇒ Other number = 180847

Now, 164831 < 180847

Hence, The greatest number is 180847
