Let the two numbers be x and y. According to the given information, we have:
x + y = 8 and x/y = 2.
From the second equation, we have x = 2y.
Now substitute x = 2y into the first equation:
2y + y = 8
3y = 8
y = 8/3
Then, x = 2(8/3) = 16/3
Therefore, the two numbers are 16/3 and 8/3.
the sum of two number is 8 and their quotient is 2. what is the number? (real number)
