Question

The sum of two numbers, one is as large as the other is 24. Find two numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

4 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 24.

One of the numbers is 5 times larger than the other.

Let x be the first number.

Let y be the second number.

x + y = 24

x = 5y

Put x as 5y in the first equation.

5y + y = 24

6y = 24

y = 4

Put y as 4 in the second equation.

x = 5(4)

x = 20
