Question

The difference of two numbers is -51 . Four times the smaller number minus 5 times the larger number gives -292 . which is the larger number ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y two numbers such that x < y.

x - y = - 51 or x = y - 51.

4*x - 5*y = - 292

4*(y - 51) - 5*y = - 292

4*y - 5*y - 204 = - 292

y = 88.
