Hello,
If the numbers are a and b and (a>=b)
Are-you asking a/b ?
If yes,
a+b=20
a-b=4
==>2a=24
==>a=12 and b=20-12=8
a/b=12/8=3/2
You can model it like this:
5/1 x 2/3
5 x 2=10
1 x 3=3
10/3 is your answer
Well, 1/4 of 24 gets us 6 (since 24 = 6 x 4), so <em>3/4 </em>should get us 6 × 3 = 18.
X < 5
1) Multiply both sides by 5
2) Combine like terms
3) Divide both sides by 11
