The sum of two numbers is 60 the greater number is 8 more than twice the smaller number find the on numben.​

Answer 1

Given:

The sum of two numbers is 60 the greater number is 8 more than twice the smaller number.

To find:

The numbers?

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the smaller number be x.

• Then it is given greater number is 8 more than twice the smaller number.
• this imply greater number is 2x+8

• now it is also given The sum of two numbers is 60

        This imply x+2x+8=60

             ON solving the above equation

                          3x=52

                              $x=\frac{52}{3}$

Thus greater no. is 2x+8=$\frac{128}{3}$

Hence smaller no. is $\frac{52}{3}$and greatrer no. is $\frac{128}{3}$
