Question

the second of two number is 6 more than 3 times the first. The sum of the two number is 30. Find the two numbers​

Answer 1

first number : 6

second number : 24

Explanation:

first number : x

second number : 3x + 6 ( 6 more than 3 times the first )

sum : 30

x + ( 3x + 6 ) = 30

4x + 6 = 30 [ add x + 3x ]

4x = 24 [ subtract 6 on both sides ]

x = 6 [ divide 4 on both sides ]

first number : 6

second number : 24
