Question

b. Three times one number is equal to four times the other number. The sum of the numbers is 63. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

consider that two numbers are x and y,

3x=4y

3x-4y=0. (1)

x+y=63. (2)

multiply by 4 to equation (2),

4x+4y=252. (3)

add equation (1) and (3),

7x=252

x=252/7

x=36

put this value in equation (2),

36+y=63

y=63-36

y=27

x=36 and. y=27
