Question

The difference of two numbers is 6 and their quotient is 2 what are the two numbers

Answer 1

Note that:

• x - y = 6
• x/y = 2

Solve for x in the second equation.

• x/y = 2
• => x = 2y

Solve for any variable in the first equation.

• x - y = 6
• => 2y - y = 6
• => y = 6

Solve for x using the result obtained from the second equation.

• x = 2y
• => x = 2(6)
• => x = 12

The numbers are 12 and 6.

Answer 2

The two numbers are 12 and 6

Explanation:

12 - 6 = 6

16 / 6 = 2
