the difference of two positive number is 69 the quotient obtained on dividing one by the the other is 4 find the numbers

6 answers

x-y = 69
x/y = 4 ---> x = 4y

sub into the first:
4y - y = 69
3y = 69
y = 23 , then x = 4(23) = 92

The difference of two positive numbers is 69. The quotient obtained on dividing one by the other is 4. Find the number.
Let two numbers be x and y
ATQ
X - Y=69
X/Y=4
X=4Y
X-Y=69
4y-y=69
3y=69
Y=69/3
Y=23
X=4ร—23
X=92
