Question

the difference between two numbers is ten and their sum is 4 time the smaller number. find the two numbers

Answer 1

Answer

The numbers are 5 and 15

Solution

Let the numbers=x,y

Given,

x-y=10 (here, you can see that y is the smaller number. otherwise the answer would be negative)

x+y=4y

Further simplification:

x = 3y

3y - y = 10

or, y=5

or, x=3y=15

Hope it helps!

To Solve:

• Find the original two number.

Given:

• the difference between two numbers is ten.
• their sum is 4 time the smaller number.

Solⁿ:

• Let greater no. be = x

• Let smaller no. be = x

ATQ;

» x - y = 10 ---------(1)

» x + y = 4y

x = 4y - y

= x = 3y

★ Substitute the value of x as 3y in eqⁿ 1.

3y - y = 10

2y = 10

→ y = 5

Value of x :

x - y = 10

x - 5 = 10

x = 10 + 5

→ x = 15

★ The Numbers Are 5, 15.
