Question

X + y = 56 x + y = 28 x÷y = ?

Answer 1

Answer:

x/y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the first statement,

x+y=56

x=56-y---(i)

Considering the second statement,

x-y=28

Substituting (i) in above statement

56-y-y=28

56-2y=28

2(28-y)=28

28-y=14

28-14=y

y=14

Substituting the value of y in (i)

x=56-14=42

Now, back to your question,

x/y=42/14=3
