Question

one number is 5 times another. if 18 is subtracted from the larger the remainder will be 3 times the smaller. find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller number be x

so larger number =5x

if 5x-18=3x

=5x-3x=18

=2x=18

=x=18/2

=x=9

so smaller number =9

larger number =9*5=45

Answer 2

Answer:

The larger is 45, the left one is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the smaller one is a, so the larger one will be 5a

Because 18 is subtracted from the larger the remainder will be 3 times the smaller so 5a-18=3a

So 5a-3a=18 and 2a=18

So a=18/2=9

And 5a=5*9=45
