Question #2bf7f

Answer 1

The two numbers are `18 and 6`

Explanation:

Given that :
The first number is six more than twice the second number. -----(1)
and
The sum of the two number is 24. -----(2)

So, if we take second number as `x`, then according to (2):

First number will be `= 24 - x`

Now according to (1), :

`(24-x) = 6 +2x`

`=> 24 - x = 6 +2x`

`=> -x -2x = 6-24`

`=> -3x = -18`

`=> x= -18/-3`

`=> x = 6`

So second number is `6`
and
first number is `24-6 =18`

`therefore` The two numbers are `18 and 6`
