Question

The Larger of two numbers is 27 more than the smaller. When added together , the sum of the larger number and five times the smaller number is 117

Answer 1

Small no. is 15

Larger no. is 15 + 27 = 42

Explanation:

Let the small no. be x

Larger no. will be x + 27

5x + x + 27 = 117

6x + 27 = 117

6x = 117-27

x = 90/6

x = 15
