Question

Hemant writes two numbers such that their difference is 14. He finds that 6 times the smaller number is 4
less than 2 times the larger number. What is the larger number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be small n.o and y be larger n.o

y-x = 14 (given)........(1)

6x =2y -4 (given).......(2)

solve the equations now.

x = y-14

substitute in equation (2)

6(y-14) = 2y -4

6y - 84 =2y -4

4y =80

y = 20

therefore larger n.o is 20.
