Question

One number is four less than three times
another. If their sum is increased by five,
the result is twenty-five. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

First number = x

Second number = 3x-4

Increased by 5:

(x)+(3x-4)+5=25

4x+1=25

4x=24

x=6 (first number)

3(6)-4=14 (second number)

Hence, the two numbers are 6 and 14.
