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

Answer 1

Explanation:

Other number - x

One number - x + 6

One number + Other number = 72

x + x + 6 = 72

2x + 6 = 72

2x = 72 - 6

2x = 66

x = 66/2

× = 33

Other number = 33

One number = 33 + 6 = 39

Answer 2

Answer:

• The sum of two number is - 72
• if one of the number is 6 more than the other, means - for example , understand that one number is
• $x$

then other number is

$x + 6$

means sum of both number is

• $x + (x + 6)$
• =
• $(2x + 6) = \: 72$
• $x go \: after \: = means \: after \: 72 \: means \:( 2 + 6) \: = 72x \: \\ 8 = 72x$
• $x = 72 \div 8 \\ \\ x = \: 9$
