Question

the sum of two numbers is 35 . ifone number is 3/4 , of the other. find the smallest number.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let one no. be x

the other no. will be 3x/4

x+3x/4=35

(4x+3x)/4=35

7x=35×4

x=140/7

x=20

therefore one number is 20

therefore the other no. is 3(20)/4=60/4=15

therefore the smaller no. is 15
