Find the numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(x=30)

(y=18)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the greatet no. be x

& smaller no. be y

By first condition

x + y = 48 --------(1)

By second condition

5y = 3x

3x - 5y=0 -----(2)

eq. 1 ×5

5x+5y=240----(3)

eq.3-eq.2

5x+5y=240

+ 3x-5y=0

=> 8x=240

=>x= 30

put x= 30 in eq.1

30+y=48

y=18

(x=30)

(y=18)

hope you have it
