Question

Four times the smaller of two numbers is equal to seven times the larger number decreased by 30. The sum of the two numbers is equal to three times the smaller number. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be x

and the smaller number be y

From ques,

Equation 1) 4y = 7x - 30 => 7x - 4y = 30

Equation 2) y + x = 3y => x - 2y = 0

Equation 1 - Equation 2,

we get, 5x = 30 => x = 6

Putting value of x in Equation 2,

we get, 2y = 6 => y = 3
