Question

the difference of two positive numbers Is 69.The quotient obtained on dividing one by the other is 4.Find the number.

Answer 1

Let them be x and y respectively
so given
$x - y = 69$
and
$\frac{x}{y} = 4 \\ so \: x = 4y(cross \: multiplication)$
so we can write
$x - y = 69$
as
$4y - y = 69 \\ 3y = 69 \\ y = 69 \div 3 \\ y = 23$
now y is 23
so putting in any equation will give the value of x
so
$x - y = 69 \\ = > x - 23 = 69 \\ x = 69 + 23 \\ x = 92$
x is 92 and y is 23
Hope it helps
