Question

Sum of two integers is $36$. If one of the number be the half of the other then find the numbers.

Answer 1

Let one number be $x$ then the other be $\frac{x}{2}$.

Then according to the problem we have,

$x+\frac{x}{2}=36$

or, $\frac{3x}{2}=36$

or, $x=24$.

So the other number is $12$.
