Question

The difference between two positive integers is 36, The quotient when one integer is divided by other is 4. Find the integers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The integers are 12 and 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two positive integers.

Given:

1) x - y = 36

2) x/y = 4    

Taking equation 1) x - y = 36  =>  x = 36 + y

Substituting x in 2) we get

36+y/y = 4

36+y = 4y

36 = 3y

y = 12

Substituting y in 1) we get

x = 36 + 12

x = 48
