Question

24 is divided into two parts such that 7 times the first part added to 5 times the second part makes 146.find each part

Answer 1

Answer:the answer is 13 and 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 24 be divided into x and y.

Then, x+y=24...........(1)

By question

7x+5y=146.................(2)

Multiply both sides of equation 1 by 7 we get

7x+7y=168.......(3)

Subtracting (2) from (3) we get

2y=22

Therefore y =11

Now x= 24-11 =13
