Question

The sum of two numbers is 88. If the greater number is divided by the smaller,
the quotient is 5 and the remainder is 10. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

13 and 75

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y

given x + y =88

and y =5x +10

by solving above expressions we get the solution

Answer 2

Answer:

let the condition first be given

according to first condition

= x+y =88

second condition

y=5x+10

-5x-y=10

subtracting 1 from 2

-5x-y=10

x+y=88

x=13

substitute x=13 in eq 1

x+y=88

13+y=88

y=75

hence, the numbers be x=13 and y=75
