Question

the sum of two numbers is 110 one fifth of a larger number is 8more thanone ninth of the smaller number find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let number be x and y

such that x>y

according to question,

x+y=110

x/5=y/9+8

9x=5y+360

9x-5y=360

x+y=110 , multiply by 5

5x+5y=550 and

9x-5y=360 and both eq.

14x= 910

x= 70

then y= 110-70=40

so smaller number is 40
