Question

The quotient of 55 and the sum of -5 and -6

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' and 'y' be the numbers and x>y

the sum of the two numbers is 55

x + y = 55

the quotient obtained by dividing the larger number by the smaller number is 2 with a remainder of 7.

x = 2y + 7

by solving the system of equations

x + y = 55

x = 2y + 7

we find

x = 39

y = 16
