If a number is decreased by 4, and two times the original number is equal to six times the othernumber, find the numbers. ​.

Sagot :

Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 2

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the original number, then [tex]x-4[/tex] would be the other number (i.e. the original number decreased by 4).

If two times the original number is equal to six times the other number, then we have [tex]2x=6(x-4).[/tex]

Isolating [tex]x[/tex] in the equation, we get [tex]24=6x-2x[/tex] so [tex]x=\frac{24}{4}=6[/tex] (original number) and [tex]x-4=6-4=2[/tex] (other number).

just a guess
