Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the greater number is x.

Let the smaller number is y.

difference between x and y = x-y=30

twice the greater number=2x

7 times the smaller number=7

According to the given condition,

y -2x=5

difference between x and y = x-y=30

x=30+y

putting value of x in 7y-2x=5

7y-2(30+y) = 5

7y-60-2y=5

5y-60=5

5y=5+60

y=65/5

y=13

As x=30+y

x=40+13

x=43

So x=43 and y=13
