Question

The sum of two numbers is 25.if thrice the smaller number is subtracted from twice the larger number, the subtraction is also 25.find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y=25

2x-3y=25

then put the value of x  from 1st eq......... in 2nd

then 2(25-y)-3y=25

then y=5 and x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

5 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two number be X and y where x is smaller y is larger

Therfore according to question                                                                                                            x + y = 25    -----------  (2)

2y - 3x = 25  ----------  (1)

In equating ------(1) and -----(2)

X + y = 2y - 3x

4x = y

Now

from -------(1)

5x = 25

x = 5

so, y =4*5

y=20
