Question

The difference of two numbers is 8 and 1/8th of their sum is 35. The numbers are

Answer 1

Answer:

LET NUMBER = X AND Y

SO, X-Y = 8

==> X = 8+Y ....(1)

==>   X/8 + Y/8 = 35

==> X + Y = 35*8

==> X + Y = 280

==>  8 + Y + Y = 280 (PUTTING VALUE OF X  IN EQ(1) )

==>  8 + 2Y = 280

==> 4 + Y = 140

==> Y = 136

PUTTING VALUE OF Y IN EQ(1)

==> X - 136 = 8

==> X = 144

SO, THE NUMBERS ==> 136 AND 144
