Question

the difference between two positive integers is 51. The quotient when one integer is divided by the other is 4. Find the two integers

Answer 1

hye

let the integres be x and y

difference between two positive integers is 51

x - y = 51.....[1]

The quotient when one integer is divided by the other is 4

x/y = 4

=>x = 4y.[2]

now lets put [1] in [2]

=> x - y = 51

=>4y - y = 51

=>3y = 51

=>y = 51/3

=>y = 17

x = 4y

=>17*4

=>68

hence the integers are 17 and 68

hope it helps u
