Question

one number is three times another ,and four times the smaller added five times greater amounts to 133;find them.​

Answer 1

21 and 7.

let the greater number be x and smaller number be y.

it is given that x = 3y.

it is also given that 4y + 5x = 133.

=> 4y + 5 * 3y = 133.

=> 4y + 15y = 133

=> 19y = 133

=> y = 7

then, x = 3y = 3 * 7 = 21.

hope this helps. :)
