Answer 1

$\huge\tt\colorbox{yellow}{Answer}$

Let the two numbers be x and y.

The difference between two numbers is 27

x - y = 27 –––> 1

The one number is 4 times the other

x = 4y

Substitute x = 4y in 1

x - y = 27

4y - y = 27

3y = 27

y = $\ \frac {27} {3}$

y = 9

x = 4y

x = 4(9)

x = 36

Hence, the two numbers are x = 36 and y = 9
