The difference of two numbers is 11 and one-fifth of their sum is 9. Find the numbers. |
|
Answer» Let the number be x and y. Then, x – y = 11 ----(i) and 1/5 (x + y) = 9 => x + y = 45 ----(ii) Adding (i) and (ii), we get: 2x = 56 or x = 28. Putting x = 28 in (i), we get: y = 17. Hence, the numbers are 28 and 17. |
