Question

The sum of two numbers is 72 if one of the number is 6 more than the other , find numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

As per statement, the sum of these two numbers is 72. Thus

x + y = 72…Eq.1

One of the numbers, x is six more than twice the other, means y. Thus

x = 2×y + 6 …Eq.2

Now putting the value of x from Eq.2 to Eq.1

x + y = 72

(2×y + 6) + y = 72

2y + 6 + , ya = 72

3y = 72 - 6

3y = 66

y = 22

Now putting the value of y from above in Eq..1

x + y = 72

x + 22 = 72

x = 72–22

x = 50

Thus two numbers are 50 and 22

Answer the two numbers are 50 and 22.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is x+y=72,  33+39=72, 72=72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x, y

let, x + 6=y

now,

x+y=72

x+x+6=72

2x=72-6

2x=66

x=66/2

x=33
