Question 431784: PLEASE HELP!!! I have tried a lot of different ways to set this problem up. I am stuck and I have a test tomorrow! Please help me! It is a story problem. The problem is:
One number is 4 times another. Their product is 4 times their sum. Find the numbers
Can you please help me? I am so confused! Thank you! Answer by sudhanshu_kmr(1152) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assume one number is x and another is 4x.
x*4x = 4(x + 4x)
=> 4x^2 = 20x
=> 4x^2 - 20x = 0
=> 4x(x -5) =0
so, x = 0 or x= 5
