Question

the sum of two numbers is 80. the larger number exceeds 4 times the smaller number, by 1. The larger number is?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given, sum of two numbers is 80.

Let the smaller number be x

Thus the larger will be 80−x.

Also given, larger number exceeds four times the smaller number by 5.

Therefore, 80−x=4x+5

⇒5x=75

⇒x=15

Thus the greatest number is 15.
