Question

four times a number increased by three times a second number is 25. four times the first number decreased by three times the second number is 7. find the two numbers.

Answer 1

3 and 4

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

From 1st statement:

4x + 3y= 25 ....(I)

From 2nd statement:

4x - 3y= 7 ....(II)

Adding eq. I and II, we get

8x= 32

x= 32÷8

x= 4

Put x=4 in eq. I

4×4 + 3y=25

3y= 25-16

3y= 9

y= 9÷3

y= 3

Thus the numbers are 3 and 4
