Question

Two numbers add up to 64 one of the numbers is 24 what is the other number?

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given:

x + y = 64

x = 24

Substitute the value of x into the equation, we have:

24 + y = 64

Subtract 24 from each side, we have:

24 - 24 + y = 64 - 24

y = 40

Therefore, the other number is 40
