Question

A number is 5 more than three times the other number. Twelve less than four times the smaller number equals three times the greater number. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:let the other no. be x(it is the smaller one)

Therefore the another no.=5+3x(greater one because it is 5 more than x)

A/Q 4x-12 = 3(5+3x)

or. 4x-12= 15+9x

or. 4x-9x = 15+12

or. -5x = 27

or. x = -27/5

or. x = -5.4

Therefore another no. = 5+3×(-5.4)

5+(-16.2)

5-16.2= 11.2 Ans
