the sum of two numbers is 18.if one is 2 more than the other,what is the number?

Sagot :

x-first number
x+2-second number

x+x+2=18
2x+2=18
2x=16
x-8

The first number is 8 and the second number is 10. Hope this helps =)
8 and 10 :) 

18 - 2 = 16
16 divided by 2 = 8, lower number
8 + 2 = 10, higher number
