Question

Si el duplo del mayor de dos numeros se divide entre el el triplo del menor, el cocient es 1 y el residuo 3, y si 8 veces el menor se divide por el mayor, el cociente es 5 y el residuo 1

Answer 1

The greater number (x) = 27

The smaller number (y) = 17

Question:

If the double of the greater of 2 numbers is divided by the triple of the smaller, the quotient is 1 and the remainder 3 and if 8 times the smaller is divided by the greater, the quotient is 5 and the remainder 1. find the numbers.

Explanation:

Let x be the greater number

y be the smaller number.

Equation 1: If the double of the greater of 2 numbers is divided by the triple of the smaller, the quotient is 1 and the remainder 3

Equation 2: if 8 times the smaller is divided by the greater, the quotient is 5 and the remainder 1

Find attached the solution of the question.

From the solution,

The greater number (x) = 27

The smaller number (y) = 17
