Question

one number is 4 less then 3 times another number . if there sum is increases by 5, the result is 25 . find both the number

Answer 1

Answer:

Numbers are 14 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be X and Y

X + 4 = 3Y, 3Y - X = 4 --- Equation (1)

X+Y + 5 = 25, X+Y = 20 --- Equation (2)

Adding both equations

3Y - X + X + Y = 4+20

4Y = 24 Thus Y = 6

as X + Y = 20, X = 14

Thus the required numbers are 14 and 6
