Answer:
The two numbers are 18 and 42
Step-by-step explanation:
let the two numbers = x and y
Their sum: x + y = 60 ------ (1)
Also, dividing the larger by the smaller (partition = 2 and remainder = 6).
Let the larger number = y
[tex]\frac{y}{x} = 2\frac{6}{x} \\\\\frac{y}{x} = \frac{2x +6}{x} \\\\y = 2x + 6\ \ ----(2)[/tex]
Substitute the value of y into equation (1)
x + (2x + 6) = 60
x + 2x + 6 = 60
3x + 6 = 60
3x = 60 - 6
3x = 54
x = 54 / 3
x = 18
y = 2x + 6
y = 2(18) + 6
y = 36 + 6
y = 42
The two numbers are 18 and 42
