Question

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

Answer 1

let first part be (x) and second(y)
x+y=24(y=24-x)
7x+5y=146
7x+5(24-x)=146
7x+120-5x=146
2x=146-120
2x=26
x=13
y=24-x
y=24-13
y=11
therefore:x=13 and y=11

Answer 2

Answer:

13 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first part be = x

Let the second part = y

Thus, according to the question -

x+y = 24 (y = 24-x)

7x+5y = 146

7x+5(24-x) =146

7x+120-5x =146

2x = 146-120

2x = 26

x = 13

Now. since y=24-x, thus

y = 24-13

y =11

Therefore, the value of x = 13 and y = 11
