Answer:
Hey There !
Let's solve....
Let the larger number be x
Let the smaller number be y
So
Now x+y=40
So just add 40+8=48
We know that
[tex]2x = 48 \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{48}{2} \\ \\ simplify \\ \\ \frac{ \cancel{48} \: ^{24} }{ \cancel{2} } [/tex]
So larger number is 24
To find the smaller number.... Just subtract The total number by larger number that is
[tex]40 - 24 = 16 \\ \\ [/tex]
So 16 is the smaller number...
Larger number is 24 and smaller is 16
I hope it is helpful to you...
