if 3 times the larger of the two numbers is divided by the smaller, than the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 2.
:
a = the larger no,
b = the smaller
:
= 4
3a - 2 = 4b
divide both sides b 4
.75a - .5 = b
:
find the numbers.
using the equation, here are a few of the many integer solutions
b = .75a - .5
a | b
-------
2 | 1
6 | 4
10 | 7
14 |10
18 |13
