six times a number and seven times another added together make 86. six times the first number added to five times the second number gives 70. find the numbers
Answers
Lets take one number be x
and another be y
lets form an equation.
6x + 7y = 86--------(1)
6x +5y = 70--------(2)
.
6x +5y = 70
6x = 70-5y---->equation 1
apply this in (1)
70-5y +7y= 86
70+ 2y = 86
2y = 86-70
2y= 16
y= 8
now put the y value in equation
6x+5(8)= 70
6x+40= 70
6x = 30
x= 5
proof
6(5)+5(8)=70
30+40=70
SOLUTION
GIVEN
- Six times a number and seven times another added together make 86.
- Six times the first number added to five times the second number gives 70.
TO DETERMINE
The numbers
EVALUATION
Let
First number = x
Second number = y
By first condition
6x + 7y = 86 - - - - - (1)
By the second condition
6x + 5y = 70 - - - - - - (2)
Equation 1 - Equation 2 gives
2y = 16
⇒ y = 8
From Equation 1 we get
6x = 86 - 7y
⇒ 6x = 86 - 56
⇒ 6x = 30
⇒ x = 5
FINAL ANSWER
First number = 5
Second number = 8
