Question

One number is 5 times another. If 18 is subtracted from the greater, the difference is 3 times the smaller. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the smallest number be x

so, the greatest number will be 5x (it is shown that one number is 5 times greater than other)

18 is subtracted from greater number I.e. 5x-18

and it is equal to 3 times smaller number I.e.

5x-18=3x

5x-3x=18

2x=18

x=18/2

x=9

x is smaller number

so smaller number is 9

noe to get bigger number multiply 5times 9 I.e. 5×9=45

small number is 9

big number is 45
