Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the two numbers be x and y

and one of them (x) is 4 ---- [Given]

• The equation becomes by the given situation is

3 ( x + y ) = 18

3 ( 4 + y ) = 18 ------- [ x = 4]

12 + 3y = 18

3y = 18 - 12

3y = 6

y = 6/3

y = 2

Hence, the second number is 2

You can verify the result by plugging the values of x and y in the equation, you will get L.H.S = R.H.S
