Question

The sum of two numbers is 54, if the larger is
divided by the smaller the quotient is 2 and
reminder is 3. The numbers are......​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

According to 1st condition,

x+y=54------(1)

According to second condition,

Dividend = divisor *quotient+remainder

x=y(2)+3

x=2y+3-------(2)

from (1) and (2)

(1)=>2y+3+y=54

=>3y=54-3

=>3y=51

=> y=17------ sub in (1)

(1)=>x+17=54

=>x=37
