The equation to be solved:
x + x + 40 = 6
x = the missing number.
x + 40 = the missing number + 40 since the difference between the two is of 40.
6 = the sum of the both missing numbers.
Equation solved step-by-step:
x + x + 40 = 6
2x + 40 = 6
2x = 6 - 40
2x = -34
x = -34 / 2
x = -17
If x = -17 than the other number is equal to x + 40
x + 40 =
-17 + 40 =
23
-17 and 23 are the two missing numbers. To proove it, we will have to do the sum an see if it equals 6:
-17 + 23 = 6
Answer:
[tex] \boxed{\bf~The~two~numbers~are~-17~and~23.} [/tex]
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
