TWO NUMBERS HAVE A SUM OF 28. THE SMALLER NUMBER PLUS FOUR TIMES THE SECOND NUMBER IS 88. FIND THE UMBERS

Answer 1

The smaller number is: 8

The bigger number is: 20

Explanation:

Ok let's say the two numbers are x and y.

x is the smaller one, and y is the bigger one.

This is the equation to find x:

x + 4y = 88

x + y = 28

x - x + 4y - y = 88 - 28

3y = 60

y = 20

x + 20 = 28

x = 8
