You can put this solution on YOUR website! twenty four is divided into two parts such that 7 times the first part added to 5 times the second part makes 146. Find each part.
let one part be x.----------- 7 times the first part = 7x
the other part will be 24-x.---- 5 times the secon part = 5 ( 24-x)
7x+5(24-x)=146
7x+120-5x=146
2x=146-120
2x=26
x=13
other part is 11
