Question

Two parts of a number are such that one is half the other. The sum of the two part is 8 more than their difference. What are the parts and what is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 1st part be x  

2nd part= x+10

x+x+10= 40  

2x+10= 40  

2x=30

x=15

x+10= 25

Thus, the number that is divided is 25+15=40
