Question

One number is 3 more than 4 times another. The sum of the numbers is 18 . Find the two numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

First number=3

Second number=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x. So, the second number is 4x+3.

The sum of the numbers is 18. So,

4x+3+x=18

or, 4x+x=18-3

or, 5x=15

or, x=15/5

or, x=3

Therefore,

First number=x=3

Second number= 4x+3=4(3)+3=12+3=15
