X = larger number and y = smaller number
x + y = 153....x = 153 - y
x - 4y = 18
153 - y - 4y = 18
153 - 5y = 18
-5y = 18 - 153
-5y = -135
y = -135/-5
y = 27 <=== smaller number
x - 4y = 18
x - 4(27) = 18
x - 108 = 18
x = 18 + 108
x = 126 <== larger number
Answer:
not sure but does it say line UW are common or shared
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
the bigger number be "x"
the smaller number be "y"
Now, according to the question,
x + y = 24...........equation (1).............because the sum of numbers is 24
x - y = 15 .............equation (2)..................because their difference is 15
Taking equation (2),
x - y = 15
x = 15 + y ....................equation (3)
Now, Taking equation (1)
x + y = 24
(Substituting the value of "x" form equation (3) we get)
15 + y + y = 24
(Subtracting 15 on both sides, we get)
y + y = 24 - 15
2y = 9
y = 9 / 2
y = 4.5
Now,
Taking equation (3)
x = 15 + y
(Substituting the value of y , we get)
x = 15 + 4.5
x = 19.5
So, the two numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
