Question

One number is 20 more than eighteen times another. Thier sum is 210. Find the numbers

Answer 1

The correct numbers are 200 and 10.

Answer 2

10 and 200

Explanation:

the two numbers are x and 18x + 20

x + (18x + 20) = 210

19x + 20 = 210

19x = 190

x = 10

Now substitute x = 10 into 18x + 20 to get the second number.

18(10) + 20

180 + 20 = 200
