Question

one fourth of the difference of x and y ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the number =x

Based on the condition

x−1/4x=24

Taking LCM

(4x−x)/4=24

3x/4=24

By cross multiplication

x=24×4/3

So we get

x=8×4=32

Hence, the number is 32.

Answer 2

here one number be x

other number be y

• x+y = 8

• x - y = 1/4(x+y)

hence

• x - y = 1/4× 8

• x-y = 2

now

• x+y= 8

• x-y=. 2

solving by addition

we get 2x equals 10

hence x is 5

substituting in x+y

we get y equals 3
