Question

The quotient of two numbers is
$\frac{4}{3}$
The first number is 26 more than the second number. Let x represent the first number and y represent the second number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 104, y = - 130

Step-by-step explanation:

the quotient of the 2 numbers is

$\frac{x+26}{x}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(x + 26) = 4x

5x + 130 = 4x ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x + 130 = 0 ( subtract 130 from both sides )

x = - 130

First number is - 130 + 26 = - 104

second number is - 130
