Question

the sum of two numbers is 50, and the quotient is 4

Answer 1

Solution:-

40/10 = qoetient 4

sum 40+10 = 50

Answer 2

∴ x = 40 and y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first number = x and second number = y

To find, the two numbers = ?

According to question,

x + y = 50         ....(1)

Also,

$\dfrac{x}{y} =4$

⇒ x = 4y

Now, equation (1) becomes

4y + y = 50

⇒ 5y = 50

⇒ y = $\dfrac{50}{5} =10$

Put y = 10 in equation (1), we get

x + 10 = 50    

⇒ x = 50 - 10 = 40

∴ x = 40 and y = 10
