Question

Difference between two numbers is 30 . twice the greater number is less than 7 times the smaller number by 5 . find the numbers
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers be x and y

x-y= 30....(1)

now,

2x= 7y+5

2x-7y= 5....(2)

multiplying eq (1) by

2x-2y= 60...(3)

subtracting (2) from (3),

2x-2y= 60

2x+ 7y= -5

5y= 55

therefore, y= 55/5= 11

substituting value of y in (1),

x-y= 30

x-11= 30

x= 30+11

X= 41.

therefore,

value of x= 41, y= 11
