Question

sum of two consecutive multiples of 10 is 210 find the smaller multiple

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us assume the two consecutive multiples of 10 be 10x and 10x + 10.

So,

Sum of two consecutive multiples of 10 = 10x + 10x + 10 = 210

20x + 10 = 210

20x = 210 – 10

20x = 200

x = 200/20

x = 10

∴the two consecutive multiples of 10 are 10x = 10 × 10 = 100

10x + 10 = (10 × 10) + 10

= 110

Hence, the smaller multiple of 10 is 100.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x& x+10

x+x+10=210

2x+10=210

2x=210-10

2x=200

x=200/2=100

x+10=100+10=110

smaller multiple=2

two numbers are 100;110
