Question

Q3. The sum of two numbers is 45. 4 times the first number is 9 less than 5
times the second. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

24 and 21 are the numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

let 1st number = x

let 2nd number = y

Now, according to question..

4x = 5y - 9

=> 5y - 4x = 9

Putting values of x = 24

5y - 4(24) = 9

5y = 9 + 96

5y = 105

y = 21

Now, if you want to verify, we can simply add the values of x and y & see that if it it is voming 45 or not..

=> 24 + 21 = 45

I hope it'll help you....
