The sum of two numbers is 24 and their quotient is 5 what are the two numbers

1 answer:

4 0

The numbers are "x" and "y";
Therefore, we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=24 ⇒x=24-y
x/y=5

solve this problem by substitution method.
(24-y)/y=5
24-y=5y
-y-5y=-24
-6y=-24
y=-24/-6=4

x=24-y
x=24-4
x=20

Answer: the numer are: 20 and 4

8c=5c+21 What would that be

NemiM [27]

To solve for C, you have to get both of the numbers with a C on the same side. So, subtract the 5c from the right side onto the left side.

$8c = 5c + 21\\8c - 5c = 5c - 5c + 21\\3c = 21$

Then, divide by 3 on each side.

$3c = 21\\3c /3 = 21/3\\c = 7$

So, c = 7.
