Question

the difference between two positive integers is 36. the quotient when one integer is divided by other is 4. find the intgers

Answer 1

let one integer = x
then other = x+ 36

if
$\frac{x + 36}{x} = 4 \\ x + 36 = 4x \\ 36 = 4x - x \\ 36 = 3x \\ x = \frac{36}{3} \\ x = 12$


if x =12
..
then one integer is 12 and other =x+36= 12+36=48

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer will be 48

Step-by-step explanation:

x+36/x=4

x+36=4x

36=4x-x

36=4x

x=36/3

x=12

if x=12

then one integer is 12 and other=x+36=12+36=48
