Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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-18and 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

no to get bigger number multiply

5times 9 I.e. 5×93D45

small number is 9

big number is 45
