Question

The sum of two numbers is 39. The second number is 6 more than half of the first number. Let a represent the first number and let b represent the second number. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

A+B=39

B=6+(1/2) A

A+B=39.......... (SUBSTITUTING B AS 6+(1/2) A

6+(1/2) A + A=39

1/2A + 2/2A= 39-6

3/2A=33

3A=66

A=22

AS THE 2ND NUMBER IS 6 MORE THAN HALF OF THE NUMBER............ THEN,

B=6+(1/2) 22

B=6+11

B=17
