Question

the difference between two numbers is18 if four times the smaller is less than three times the larger by 18 find the numbers​

Answer 1

x-y=18 ....1

3(x)=4(y)+18 ..2

3x=4y+18

3x-4y=18

multiplying equation 1 by 4

4x-4y=72

3x-4y=18 by subtracting

x=54

putting value of x in equation 1

54-y=18

y=54-18

=36

so the larger number is 54 and smaller no is 36
