Let the two numbers are x and y
Let larger number = x
and smaller number = y
it means
x-y = 0.77
Now it says larger number is increased 5 times
So it now becomes 5x
So second equation becomes
5x -y =77
Now we have to solve these two equations
x-y = 0.77 and 5x-y = 77
multiply first equation by -1 and then add both equations
-x+y = -0.77
Now on adding we get
-x+5x +y -y = 77-0.77
4x = 76.23
Divide both sides by 4
x=19.0575
We get the larger number , now subtract 0.77 from this , we will get the smaller number
y=19.0575-0.77=18.2875
y=18.2875
Hence the larger number = 19.0575
Smaller number = 18.2875
Answer : 254 ft sq
A = pi x r^2
A = 3.14 x 81
-10 and -2
Because -10-2= -12 and -10 x -2 = 20
Hope this helps :)
