Given: 4 times the smaller of two numbers is less than 3 times the larger number by 5 The sum of the two numbers is larger than 6 times their difference by 6 Let the two numbers be x and y, such that x > y. Then the given conditions can be expressed as the following equations: 3x - 4y = 5 (x + y) - 6 (x - y) = 6 Solve these equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y: (x + y) - 6 (x - y) = 6 -5x + 7y = 6 Solve for x: x = 59 Substitute this value for x into the first equation to solve for y: 3(59) - 4y = 5 177 - 4y = 5 4y = 172 y = 43 Therefore, the two numbers are x = 59 and y = 43.Click me to Read more Question & Answer of Numbers
