Question

The difference between two numbers is 10.If one number is four times the other.What are the numbers?

Answer 1

The first number is 10/3 while the second number is 40/3 (i.e 4 times of x)

Explanation:

Let the number be X

One number is 4 times of X = 4x

Therefore,

4X - X = 10

3X = 10

X = 10/3

The first number is 10/3 while the second number is 40/3 (i.e 4 times of x)
