Question 1037155: divide 224 into two parts such that when the larger part is divided by the smaller part, the quotient is 2 and the remainder is half of the smaller part. find the larger part Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = larger part ==> 224 - x = smaller part.
==>
==>
<==> 2x = 1120 - 5x ==> 7x = 1120
==> x = 160, the larger part, while
224 - x = 64, the smaller part.
