Question

The different between two positive integers is 36. The quotient, when one integer is divided by the other is 4. Find the two integers.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the number be x and y......

So,

x - y = 36 (as it is said difference between two positive integer is 36)....

and

other is

x / y =4 (as it is said when one integer is divided by the other is 4)

now doing simultaneous linear equation

we get

x - y =36

x / y =4

after doing simultaneous linear equation

you will get

ANSWER

X=48

Y=12

HOPE IT HELP!!

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 48 and 12.

Explanation:

Lets consider, first positive integer = x

second integer = (x - 36)

The quotient, when x is divided by the other = (x - 36) = 4

According to the question:

⇒ x/(x - 36) = 4

⇒ x = 4(x - 36)

⇒ x = 4x - 144

⇒ 4x - x = 144

⇒ 3x = 144

⇒ x = 144/3

⇒ x = 48

First number = 48

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

★ Second Number -

⇒ x - 36

⇒ 48 - 36

⇒ 12

Second Number = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 48 and 12.
