Question

the difference of two numbers is 11 and one fifth of their sum is 9 find the numbers

Answer 1

Hi , there !!


let the number be " x "
let the number be " y " .

now ,
cases , possible

x-y = 11

or

y - x = 11 -------------------------- eq (1)


now ,


according to your question

1/5 ( x + y ) = 9

x + y = 45 ----------------------- eq ( 2)


or

similarly

y - x = 45 --------------------------(3)



from equation 1 and 2

we have ,


x - y = 11
x + y = 45
=========
2x = 56

x = 23


y = 12



similarly from equation 1 and 3


x - y = 11
y + x = 45
=========
x = 23

and y = 12



hence , value of. x = 23 , y =12 in both the cases .



hence , x =23

y = 12




hope it helps !!!


thanks !!!
