Question
The quotient of two numbers is 4. Their sum is 5. What are the two numbers?
Solution
Let's denote the two numbers as x and y.
From the problem, we have two equations:
-
x/y = 4, which means x = 4y. This is because the quotient of x and y is 4.
-
x + y = 5. This is because the sum of the two numbers is 5.
We can substitute equation 1) into equation 2) to solve for y:
4y + y = 5 5y = 5 y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into equation 1) to solve for x:
x = 4*1 x = 4
So, the two numbers are 4 and 1.
