Question 27163: one number is four less than three times another. if their sum is increased by five,the results is twenty-five. find he numbers Answer by Paul(988) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First number = x
Second number = 3x-4
Increased by 5:
(x)+(3x-4)+5=25
4x+1=25
4x=24
x=6 (first number)
