Question

divide 184 into two parts such that one third of one part may exceed one seventh of the other part by 8
hint is - let the two parts be x and (184 - x). then 1/3 x-1/7 (184-x)

Answer 1

◀HERE'S ⏬ YOUR ANSWER▶

Let, x and (184-x) are the two parts.

Then,
$\frac{1}{3} x - \frac{1}{7} (184 - x) = 8 \\ or \: \: 7x - 3(184 - x) = 168 \\ or \: \: 10x = 720 \\ or \: \: x = 72$

Hence the numbers are 72 and 112.
