Question

24 is divided into two parts such that seven times the first part added to five times the second part is equal to 146. Find each part

Answer 1

Answer:

13 &11

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume first part is x

second part will be 24-x

now given : 7x+5(24-x)=146

                 : 7x+120-5x=146

                 :x=13

                second part 24-x=24-13=11
