You can write the two equations x = 4y - 7 and x + y = 93; substitute the value of x into the other equation

(4y - 7) + y = 93; combine like terms

5y - 7 = 93; add 7 to both sides

5y = 100; divide both sides by 5

y = 20; substitute this value into the other equation

x + 20 = 93

x = 73

So the numbers are 20 and 73

The sum of two positive numbers is 5 times their difference. What is the ratio of the larger number to the smaller number?
Anna11 [10]
Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2

Let x be the length of the train.

On the basis of the observer;
Speed of the train = x/6

On the basis of the bridge;
Total distance covered by any point of the train= 350+x
Speed = (350+x)/20

Equating the two expressions of speed;
x/6 = (350+x)/20
20(x) = 6(350+x)
20x = 2100+6x
(20-6)x = 2100
14x = 2100
x= 2100/14 = 150 m
Speed = x/6 = (350+x)/20 = 150/6 = 500/20 = 25 m/s.

Therefore,
Length of train = 150 m
Speed of train = 25 m/s
