Question

The difference between two numbers is 4.If the dum of five times the smaller number and the bigger number is 58.Find the numbers

Answer 1

hey there ,

let one number be x

other number = x + 4

5x + (x + 4) = 58

6x + 4 = 58

6x = 54

x = 9

the numbers are 9 and 9+4 = 13

Answer 2

Let, the smaller number is x . therefore larger number is ( x + 4) from given information, 5x + (x +4) =58. 5x + x + 4=58, 6x + 4 =58, 6x=58 -4, 6x=54, x = 54\6, x= 9. Now the smaller number is = x= 9 &larger number is= (x +4)=(9+4)=13.
