Answer 1

Tyler and mia are each thinking of a number. mia's number is 2/5 of Tyler's number. there is a difference of 36 between their two numbers? What is each number?​

Let

x ------> Tyler's number

y ------> Mia's number

we have that

y=(2/5)x -----> equation A

x-y=36 ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

x-(2/5)x=36

solve for x

(3/5)x=36

x=36*5/3

x=60

Find the value of y

y=(2/5)*60

y=24

therefore

the numbers are 24 and 60

Tyler's number is 60

Mia's number is 24
