Question

Difference between two numbers is 5. four times the greater number is equal to 5 times the smaller number . find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

We are given that x-y=5 and 4x+y=5, therefor x=y+5 and 4*[y+5]+y=5.

So 5y=5–20=-15 or y=-3.

Hence x=2, The two numbers (x,y)=(2,-3).

Proof: x-y=2-(-3)=2+3=5 and 4x+y=8–3=5.
