Question

. 1 If the difference between two numbers is 36 and one number is 4 times the other number , then the numbers are​

Answer 1

Answer:

let 2 numbers be x and y

ATQ

x-y=36

x=4y

put value of x=4y

x-y=36

4y-y=36

3x=36

$x = \frac{36}{3}$

x=12

x-y=36

12-y=36

-y=36-12

-y=24

y=-24

Answer 2

Answer:

Let us assume the numbers to be x and y, x>y

x-y= 36    -------------------- 1

x= 4y        -------------------- 2

Substituting 2 in 1,

4y-y= 36

3y=36

y= 36/3 =12

y = 12

substituting y in 1,

x - 12 = 36

x= 36 + 12

 = 48

therefore the numbers are 12 and 48
