Question

The sum of two numbers is 40 . The larger number is 18 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

larger number = 29

smaller number = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x

18 + x+ x =40

18+ 2x = 40

40 - 18 = 2x

22 = 2x = 22/2

= 11

larger no. 11+x

so 11+ 18 = 29

and smaller no. = 11
