Answer:
The larger number is 60
The smaller number is 14
Explanation:
Assume that the larger number is x and that the smaller number id y.
We are given that:
1- The sum of the two numbers is 74. This means that:
x + y = 74
This equation can be rewritten as:
x = 74 - y .............> I
2- Four times the smaller number (4y) subtracted from the larger number (x), the result would be 4. This means that:
x - 4y = 4 ..............> II
Substitute with I in II and solve for y as follows:
x - 4y = 4
74 - y - 4y = 4
74 - 5y = 4
5y = 70
y = 70/5
y = 14
Substitute with the value of y in equation I to get x as follows:
x = 74 - y
x = 74 - 14
x = 60
Hope this helps :)
