Question

The sum of two numbers is 4. Four times the larger number plus three times the smaller number is 31. Find the numbers.
The larger number is___
and the smaller number is ____

Answer 1

Answer:

larger no=19, smaller no=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

let X be the larger no &Y be the smaller no

so $X+Y$=4.....(1)

$4X+3Y$=31............(2)

from $(2)- (1)*3$

$4X+3Y-3X-3Y$=$31-12$

X=19

Y=-15
