Question

The difference between two number is 7 . Six time the smaller plus the larger is 77 .find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

Numbers are 10 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'

According to the question,

⇒ x - y = 7   [ Assuming x > y ]

Also, it is given that,

⇒ 6y + x = 77

Subtracting first from second we get,

⇒ 6y + x - x + y = 77 - 7

⇒ 7y = 70

⇒ y = 70/7 = 10

Therefore x = 7 + y = 7 + 10 = 17

Hence the two numbers are 10 and 17.

Answer 2

let smaller no be x

let greater no. be y

y-x=7

6x+y=77

after solving the above equation we get the value of x is 10 and that of y is 17
