Algebra.Com's Answer #587936 by jjthomson83(4)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x and y be the greater and smaller numbers respectively \n" ); document.write( "x+y=142 \n" ); document.write( "3y+14=x ie quotient × divisor +remainder= dividend \n" ); document.write( "divisor=y, dividend=x , remainder=14 and quotient=3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y=142 \n" ); document.write( "x-3y=14 \n" ); document.write( "4y=128 \n" ); document.write( "y=32 \n" ); document.write( "x=142-32 \n" ); document.write( "=110 \n" ); document.write( "hence x=110 and y=32 \n" ); document.write( " |
