First, put the problem into equation form:
x - y = 48
4y = x
Now use substitution:
x - y = 48
4y - y = 48
3y = 48
y = 16
Finally, solve for x:
4y = x
4(16) = x
64 = x
One number is 64, and the other is 16.
If you check, you will see that these two numbers satisfy their description.
number is 14 and the other is 56
18 & 9
The difference of 2 times a number "n" and 6 2n-6
52, and 68
97 is a prime number - therefore the only answer is 97 & 1
If the higher is 3 times the lower, the difference must be twice the lower so the numbers are 8 and 24.
4x - x = 36 so x = 12 and the other number is 48.
12 and 28
They are 4 and 7.
number is 14 and the other is 56
101 and 26
The numbers are 21 and 63.
Since one number is 3 times the other, I'd divide 84 by 4 and get 21. This is the lower number so the other must be 63.
18 & 9
20 and 5
5x - x = 116so4x = 116sox = 29 and 5x = 145
One numbers 3 times another number.the difference between the numbers 10. Find the numbers.
