Question

The sum of two numbers is 71. The larger number is less than 4 than twice the smaller number. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let smaller number is x,

larger number = 2x - 4

now acc. to question

smaller number + larger number = 71

x + (2x - 4) = 71

3x= 71 + 4

3x = 75

x= 75/3

x= 25

hence,

smaller number is 25 and larger number is 2(25)-4= 46
