Question

the difference of two numbers is 67. The larger number is 43 less than six times the smaller number, find the larger number

Answer 1

Answer :

therefore the larger number is 89

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller number be x

the larger number is 6 times x less than 43 = 6x - 43

the difference between the two numbers = 67 = (6x - 43) - x

solving this we get,

5x - 43 = 67

5x = 110

x = 22

therefore the smaller number x is 22

the larger number is 6x - 43 where you should substitute x = 22

6(22) - 43 = 132-43 = 89

therefore the larger number is 89
