Question

The sum of two numbers is 24 .7 times of the first is added to the 5 times of the second is 146.find the numbers. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore one number is 13 and the other one is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x and other one be y

7x + 5y = 146 (or 7y + 5x = 146)           (eq 1)

x + y = 24

(multiplying by 5)

5x + 5y = 120                                        (eq 2)

Subtracting eq 2 from eq 1

7x + 5y = 146

-5x - 5y = -120

       2x = 26

         x = 26/2

         x = 13

Put x = 13 in eq 1

7(13) + 5y = 146

91 + 5y = 146

5y = 146 - 91

5y = 55

y = 55/5

y = 11

Therefore one number is 13 and the other one is 11.
