Question

A number is 4 times another number. If the larger number is 10 more than twice the small number, find the two numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

numbers are 20,5

Step-by-step explanation:

let larger number be x,

x = 4y

x = 10 + 2y

substitute x in the above equation

4y = 10 + 2y

2y = 10

y = 5 = smaller number

substitute y in x

x = 4(5)

x = 20
