Question

Two numbers differ by 11. Thrice the greater added to seven times the smaller gives 203. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When the larger number is divided by the smaller, the quotient is 2 and the remainder is 4. Find the numbers. The top equation gives L = S + 11. ... Hence S + 11 = 2S + 4, or S = 7, the smaller number, and L = S + 11 = 18, the larger number.
