Question

Divide 135 between two persons so that one gets 9 less than the other.
de 110 between two friends so that one gets 16 more than the other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Part I : 72,63

Part II: 47,63

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the share of one friend be x

Share of second friend = x-9

x+x-9 = 135

2x = 135+9

2x= 144

x=72

Thus share of one friend = x = 72

Second friend = x-9 = 72-9 = 63

PART 2:

Let the share of one friend be x

Share of second friend = x+16

x+x+16 = 110

2x = 110-16

2x= 94

x=47

Thus share of one friend = x = 47

Second friend = x+16 = 47+16 = 63
