Question

the sum of two numbers is 80 . If the larger number exceeds four times bigger than 6 , what is the smaller number ?​

Answer 1

Let x and y be the two numbers. And x > y.

Then,

x + y = 80

Also,

x = 4y - 6

Solving the two equations,

80 - y = 4y - 6

74 = 5y

Therefore, y = 14.8

Hope this helps you.
