The sum of two numbers is 40.when 3odd number 1 over 4 times the larger number is subtracted from 5odd number 1 over 2 times the smaller,the difference is -25.find the two numbers
The equations as understood by me
x+y =40----------------------------(1)
multiply by 4
22x-13y=-100-------------------------(2)
Multiply (1) by 13 and to (2)
13x+13y = 520
22x-13y = -100
35x = 420
x= 12
x+y =40
12+y=40
y=28
