Question

one number is 4 less than 3 times the other . if their sum is increased by 5 , the result is 25. find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

6,14

Step-by-step explanation:

construct equations from the information, let x and y be the numbers

so

y=3x-4

also

y+x+5=25

=> y+x=20 sub y value

4x-4=20

=>x=6

so y=3*6-4=14

Answer 2

Given data,

One number is $4$ less than $3$ times the other.

Let the two number be x, y.

As per the given condition from the question we can write it as

$y=3x-4$

Also given,

If the sum of these two numbers is increased by $5$ then it is equal to $25$

It means,

$x+y+5=25...(1)$

As we know,

$y=3x-4$

Substitute this in equation one.

$x+3x-4+5=25$

$4x+1=25$

$4x=25-1$

$4x=24$

$x=6$

Substitute $x=6$ in $y=3x-4$

We get,

$y=3(6)-4$

$y=18-4$

$y=14$

Therefore, the two numbers are $6,14$
