Question

A number is four times another number. If the larger number is subtracted from 100, the

result is 10 less than the number obtained by subtracting the smaller number from 50. 

Find both numbers.  

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct solution is -

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smaller number be x

Bigger number = 4x

As per the equation -

100 - 4x = 50 - x - 10

100 - 4x = 40 - x

-4x + x = 40 - 100

-3x = - 60

X = 20 .

Bigger number be = 4x

A.T.Q

100-4x=50-x-10

-4x+x=40-100

-3x=-60

x=-60/-3

x=20.
