Let the two numbers be x and y.
According to the given conditions:
1) x - y = 8
2) x / y = 2
From the second equation, we can rewrite it as x = 2y.
Substitute the value of x in the first equation:
2y - y = 8
y = 8
Now, substitute the value of y in x = 2y:
x = 2(8)
x = 16
Therefore, the two numbers are 16 and 8.
the difference of two numbers is 8 and their quotient is 2. what is this number?
