Question 14934: The sum of two numbers is 133. Four times the smaller of the two numbers equals three times the greater number. Find the number. Answer by venugopalramana(3286) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be the smaller number and y the bigger number.
we have x+y=133.......(1)
and 4*x=3*y ..........(2)
multiplying (1) with 3 throught we get 3*x+3*y=3*133...substituting 3*y=4*x in this we get 3*x+4*x=399
7*x=399
x=399/7=57
since 4*x=3*y=4*57
y=4*57/3=4*19=76
hence x=57 and y=76....
