Question

of two numbers 1/5of the greater is equal to1/3 of the smaller and their sum is 16.the numbers are?

Answer 1

X+y=16 such that x>y
And 1/5x=1/3y or x:y=5:3
So x= 5/8*16 =10 and other number is 6

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 10 and x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x and larger number be y

==: x + y = 16

==: x = 16 - y    ........(1)

==: y/5 = x/3

==: 5x - 3y = 0   .........(2)

Place 1 in 2

==: 5x - 3y = 0

==: 5(16 - y) - 3y = 0

==: 80 - 5y - 3y = 0

==: 80 - 8y = 0

==: 8y = 80

==: y = 10 and x = 6
