Question

the sum of two number is 25 if thrice the smaller number is subtracted from twice the larger number the subtractions is also 25 find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Largest number = 20

smallest number = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x and other be y

X + Y = 25 (let this be equation no !1)

2X - 3Y = 25

(!1) x 3 gives 3X + 3Y = 75 (let this be equation no !2)

                   2X - 3Y = 25 (let this be equation no !3)

(!2) + (!3) gives 5X = 100

                      X = 100/5

                         = 20

substituting this in equation no !1, we have

         X + Y = 25

         20 + Y =25

         Y = 25-20

            = 5
