One number is 9 more than another number, and the sum of the two numbers is 35. What is the value of the smaller number?

One number = x

Other number = 9 + x

Sum of the numbers = 35

Value of the smaller number (x) = ?

The value of the smaller number would be 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two numbers, one that is greater by 9 than the other. In order to find the values of the two numbers, set the smallest number as the variable , you will now get the two numbers and (This represents the second number that is greater than the first number by 9). Since these two values add up to 35, you can now make the equation . The steps to solve the equation will be the following: ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ . Since the variable was originally set to represent the smaller number out of the two, that means the value of the smaller number would be 13.
