Question

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

Answer 1

let the one part be x
then , other part = 24-x

according to question ,

7x + 5(24-x) = 146
=> 7x+120-5x = 146

=> 2x = 146-120 => 26
=> x = 26/2 = 13


then , second part = 24-x => 24-13 => 11


hope this helps
