Question

A positive no. is 5 times another
number. If we add 2 to bother
the no. then one of them
becomes 4 times the other​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no be x the positive number be 5x next we add 2 to both number ATP=x +2+5x+2=4x=5x+x 2+2. 6x+4=4x. 6x-4x+4 =2x+4 ,x=4/2x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

30 = positive number and smaller number = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST

Let the positive number = x

and the other number = y

According to question,

x=5y

(x+2) = 4(y + 2) [ by adding 2 on both sides ]

Now, substituting y=x/5

x+2 = 4(x/5 +2)

x+2 = 4x/5 + 8

5x + 10 = 4x + 40

x = 30

x= 5y

y = 30/5 =6
