Problema Solution

the second of two numbers is 6 more than 3 times the first the sum of the two numbers is 30

Answer provided by our tutors

Let first number = x

=> second number = 30 - x

 

x = 3(30-x) + 6

=> x = 90-3x+6

=> 4x = 96

=> x = 24

=> first number = 30-x = 6

=> second number = x = 24
