Let's call the two numbers x and y.
From the information given, we know that:
x + y = 8
x/y = 2
From the second equation, we can rewrite it as x = 2y
Substitute x = 2y into the first equation:
2y + y = 8
3y = 8
y = 8/3
y = 2.6667 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Now, substitute the value of y back into x = 2y:
x = 2(2.6667)
x = 5.3333 (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Therefore, the two numbers are 5.3333 and 2.6667.
the sum of two number is 8 and their quotient is 2. what is the number?
