Question 1032386: the sum of two number is 30 the larger number is 5 more than four times the smaller number find the product of the number Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Make the smaller number = x
Larger number = 5 + 4x
x + (5 + 4x) = 30
x + 5 + 4x = 30
Collect like terms:
x + 4x = 30 - 5
5x = 25
x = 5
Smaller number = 5
Larger number = 25
Product of the numbers
= 125.
Hope this helps :-)
