Answer 2

Concept: This is the question of a simple 'linear equation'. We assume a variable to unknown quantity and then solve the question according to the question's statement.

Given: A number is 7 times the other number and their sum is 96.

To Find: The numbers

Solution: Let one number be 'x' and according to the statement another number is 7x

And the sum of them is 96

   $x+7x=96$

⇒ $8x=96$

⇒ $x= \frac{96}{8}$

⇒ $x= 12$

and another number is 7x= 12×7=84

Hence the numbers are 7 and 84
