Question

The difference of two positive numbers is 72 and the quotient obtained on dividing one by other is 4. Find the numbers.(Only using one variable x)​

Answer 1

Answer:

numbers are 96 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 - x2 = 72-----(1)

x1 / x2= 4

x1 = 4x2 sub in (1)

4x2 - x2 = 72

3x2 = 72

x2 = 72/3 = 24

x1 = 4x2 = 4( 24 ) = 96
