two numbers.

can you please give me the equation for this tyyyy



Answer :

With the help of two variable equations, the two numbers are 8 and 16.

How to solve the system of equations?

There are three ways to solve equations-

1. Substitution method

2. Elimination method

3. Graphing method.

Now, let the number be x and y.

Therefore, the sum of two numbers is twenty-four,  x+y= 24

Now, given that,

3x-4=2y-12

3x-2y=-8

2y-3x=8

Now, substituting the value of y in the equation

2(24-x)-3x=8

40=5x

x=8

Therefore, the two numbers are 8 and 16.
