Question

divide 36 into two parts in such a way that twice the first part and five times the second part add up to 120
​

Answer 1

Answer:First, write your two hints in mathematical form: 36 is divided in two parts: easy peasy, the two parts must add to 36. x + y =36. 5 times of first part ( 5x ), added to 3 times the second part (3y), makes 142: 5x + 3x = 142.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one part of 36 be x

So, another part of 36 is 36 - x

Here, given that 2 times of one part and 5 times of second part

A/Q

2(x)+5(36-x)=120

2x+180-5x=120

180-120=5x-2x

60=3x

x=20

So, one part is 20

And another part is 36 - 20=16
