Question

One number is 5 times another. If 8 is subtracted from the greater the remainder will be 3 times the smaller. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

4 & 20

Step-by-step explanation:

let the required no. be x.

then another no. be 5x.

A/q,

5x - 8 =3x

-8 = 3x - 5x

-8 = - 2x

-8/-2 = x

4 = x.

hence , smaller no.= 4

another no.= 5 × 4

= 20.
