Question

The sum of two numbers is 48 if one exits the other by 4 ,find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the nos be x and x+4

So thier sum would be x+(x+4)=48

2x+4=48

2x=48-4

2x=44 so x=44/2

x=22

Other no is x+4 =22+4=26

Answer 2

Let the number be x

So, the other number is (x+4)

x + ( x + 4 ) = 48

2x + 4 = 48

2x = 48 - 4

2x = 44

x = 44 / 2

x = 22

So, the numbers are 22 and 26 .
