Question

The difference of two positive numbers is 72 and the quotient obtained on dividing one by other is 4.Find​ the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

24,96

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=72

x = 72+y......(1)

x/y =4

72 + y/y = 4

72 + y = 4y

y -4y + 72 =0

-3y = -72

3y = 72

y = 72/3

y = 24

put y in equation 1

x = 72 + y

x = 72 +24

x = 96
