Answer 1

$\huge \pink \star \bf question :$

One number is 5 times another. If 18 is subtracted from the greater, the remainder will be 3 times the

smaller. Find the numbers.

$\bf answer$

You must use equations to solve,

Assume the bigger number is x and the smaller is y

X = 5y

And

X-8 =3y

We can just substitute x for 5y because of the first Equation

5y -8 = 3y

5y-3y = 8

2y = 8

Y=4

X=20

If we plug this in the two original equations, the first one will be automatically true,

20–8=3*4

12=12

$\bf answer = 20 \: and \: 4$

Solutions are 20 for the big number and 4 for the smaller.
