Question

the difference between 2 number is 7 .Six times smaller number plus larger number is 77 .Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

so, according to the question,

y - x = 7 …………..let this be condition 1

And,

6x + y = 77 …………..let this be condition 2

So, now multiplying condition 1 by 6 and condition 2 by 1 and adding them , we get-

6y - 6x + 6x + y = 77 + 7

=> 7y = 84

=> y = 12

Now substituting the value of y in condition 1 , we get -

12 - x = 7

=> x = 12 - 7

=> x = 5

So, the greater number (y) is 12 and the smaller number (x) is 5

Hope this answer will help you…..
