Question

twenty-four a number is 10 more than two-thirds of the
4/ Twenty-four is divided into two parts such that 7 times the first part added to 5 times th
second part makes 146. Find each part.
nd the number whose fifth part increased by 5 is equal to its fourth part diminished by
the smallest equ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first part be = x

Let the second part = y

Thus, according to the question -

= x+y = 24 (y = 24-x)

= 7x+5y = 146

= 7x+5(24-x) =146

= 7x+120-5x =146

- 2x = 146-120

= 2x = 26

= x= 13

Now, since y=24-x, thus

y = 24-13

y =11

Therefore, the value of x = 13 and y = 11
