Question

sum of two integers is 87 if the greater integer is divided by the smaller the quotient 4 and the remainder is 12 find the integras​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the two numbers be x and y, where x is the larger no.

x+y=87 ...(1)

As per the given condition,

x=7y+1 ...(2)

Substitute eq(2) in eq(1) we get

7y+1+y=87

8y=86

y=10.75

∴x=7(10.75)+1=76.25
