Question

The sum of two natural numbers is 25. Fives times the smaller number be 5 more than the three times the greater number. Find the numbers

Answer 1

x+y=25---------equation1

5x-5=3y

5x-3y=5--------equation2

subtracting equation 2from 1

(x+y=25)5  =  5x+5y=125

5x-3y=5

5x+5y=125

5x-3y=5    

2y=120

y=60

x+y=25

x+60=25

x=25-60

x=-35

Answer 2

Answer:

let the numbers be x and y

so :

x + y = 25

5x = 3y + 5

5x - 3y = 5     +     3x + 3y = 75

8x = 80

x = 10

y = 15

hope this helps
