Question

3. The sum of two numbers is 40. If one number is 5 more than3/2 the other, find the
numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

one number is x

second number is y

sum of two numbers is 40

x+y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/2(y)+5)+(y) =40

3y+10+2y=80

5y+10=80

5y=70

y=14

and so one number is 14 and

other number is 26

Answer 2

Let the numbers be x and y

Given ,

x = 5 + 3y/2

x + y = 40

5 + 3y/2 + y= 40

10 + 3y + 2y = 80

10 + 5y = 80

5y = 70

y = 70 /5

y = 14

x = 5+ 14×3/2 = 5+21 =26

The numbers are 14 and 26
