the sum of two number is 8 and their quotient is 2. what is the number? (real number)

Answer 1

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.
