Question

the sum of two numbers is 72 if 6 more than the other find the other number

Answer 1

Hey mate!  ​​  

here's your answer!    

let x be the other number.    

and, sum of two numbers = 72    

so, According to question,  

x + 6 + x = 72    

=> 2x = 72 - 6      

=> 2x = 72 - 6    

=> x = 66/2   ​

=> x = 33    
 
hence, other number = 33    

hope it is helpful ✌️!

2x=72-6
2x= 66
x=66/2
x=33

one number = x = 33
other number= x+6 = 33+6 = 39
