The sum of two numbers is 20. Twice one number is 4 more than four times the other. Find the numbers.
Answer:
Assume that one number is x
Then, as per the question, sum of two numbers = 20
If one number is 'x' ( assumption), then the second number is 20 - x
That is,
First number = x
Second number = 20-x
Also it is given that, Twice one number is 4 more than four times the other. Find the numbers.
Twice the first number = 2*x
Four times the second number = 4*(20-x) = 80 - 4x
Twice one number is 4 more than four times the other, means...
2x = 80 - 4x + 4
==> 2x = 80 + 4 - 4x
