Question

The sum of two numbers is 50 if the larger number is divided by the smaller number we get 4 find is the number

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 10 and 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the larger number and y be the smaller number.

given:

x + y = 50 ----------------------------( 1 )

x/y = 4  =>   x = 4 y ----------------------------( 2 )

combining equations 1 and 2 , we get

5y = 50

y = 10.

and   x = 40.

Thus you got the answer !

Answer 2

Answer:

let bigger number is x

and smaller number is y

so,

x+y=50

and

x/y=7/11

x=7y/11

substituting value of x in first equation,

(7y/11)+y=50

7y+11y=550

18y=550

y=275/9

so,

x=7•275/9•11
