Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the sum of two numbers is 15 and one number is 9, what is the other number?
  • Step 1: Identify the two numbers. We know one number is 9.
  • Step 2: Let the other number be represented as 'x'.
  • Step 3: Write the equation for the sum of the two numbers: 9 + x = 15.
  • Step 4: To find 'x', subtract 9 from both sides of the equation: x = 15 - 9.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: 15 - 9 equals 6.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the other number is 6.
