Question

One of the two numbers exceeds the other by 4. Find the numbers if 2 less than 3 times the larger number is equal to 5 times the smaller number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let one number is x

then another us (x+4)

according to question,

3(x+4)-2=5x

=> 3x+12-2=5x

=> 3x-5x= -10

=> -2x= -10

=> x= -10/-2=5

so one number is 5 and the other is (5+4)=9
