Question

The sum of two numbers is 80. The larger number is four more than three times the smaller number. Find both numbers. 0 19 & 61 021 & 59 17 & 63 23857

Answer 1

The sum of the both number is 80

Let the first number isthe leargest number x S, the next will be 80-x

The larger number is four more than three times the smaller number

so, equation will bw : x =3(80-x)+4

x = 240-3x+4

x+3x=240+4

4x=244

x=244/4

x=61

So, the first number is 61

now the second number will be 80-x

second number = 80-61

second number =19

So, the numbers are 19 & 61

Answer : A) 19 & 21
