their sum is four times the smaller number
Find the two numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 10 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x and y

We are given that The difference between two numbers is 10

So,  ----1  

We are given that their sum is four times the smaller number.

So, x+y=4y

x=3y

Substitute the value of x in 1

x-y=10

3y-y=10

2y=10

y=10/2

y=5

So, x = 10+y

=10+5=15

Hence The numbers are 10 and 15
