Question
Of two numbers ,3 times the larger one is greater than 4 times the smaller one by 7.Also, the sum of numbers is larger than 6 times their difference by 4.Find the largest number.
Solution
Let's denote the larger number as "L" and the smaller number as "S".
From the problem, we have two equations:
- 3L = 4S + 7
- L + S = 6(L - S) + 4
We can simplify these equations to:
- 3L - 4S = 7
- L + S = 6L - 6S + 4
Rearranging the second equation gives:
- -5L + 7S = 4
Now we have a system of two equations, and we can solve it using substitution or elimination method. Let's use the elimination method:
Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second by 3:
- 15L - 20S = 35
- -15L + 21S = 12
Add these two equations:
S = 47
Substitute S = 47 into the first equation:
3L = 4*47 + 7 3L = 188 + 7 3L = 195 L = 195 / 3 L = 65
So, the larger number is 65.
