Question

i) The difference between two natural numbers is 28. The smaller number 3 is of the greater number. Find 4 the numbers.​

Answer 1

a = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

let the small se natural number be a and greater natural number be b

then

b - a = 28 - (1) a = 3b / 4 - (2)

using (2) in (1) b - 3b / 4 = 28 (4b - 3b) / 4 = 28 b = 28 * 4

b = 112

b - a = 28

112 - a = 28 a = 112 - 28

a = 84
