Question

The sum of two numbers is 24 and their quotient is 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the greater number be x

and second number 24-x

According to the question

x/(24-x)= 5

X= 120-5x

6x =120

x= 20

First number (greater number)= X=20

Second number = 24-x =24-20=4

Answer 2

Answer:

☆ ANSWER ☆

LET ONE NUMBER BE X AND OTHER NUMBER BE Y .

➡ACCORDING TO THE GIVEN CONDITIONS

X + Y = 24

X = 24 - Y ------(1)

X/Y = 5 ------(2)

SUBSTITUTING EQ (1) IN EQ (2)

(24 - Y) / Y = 5

24 - Y = 5Y

24 = 6Y

Y = 4 -----(3)

SUBSTITUTING EQ (3) IN EQ (1)

X = 24 - 4

X = 20

THEREFORE ,

X = 20✔✔

Y = 4 ✔✔
