You can put this solution on YOUR website! the difference between two numbers is 116.6 times the smaller is equal to 4 more than the larger. what are the numbers?
====================================================
Let x = the larger number, y = the smaller number
Given:
Difference of the two numbers = 116
6 times the smaller = 4 more than the larger
x - y = 116 -> x = y + 116
6y = x + 4 -> 6y = (y+116) + 4
Solve for y:
5y = 120
y = 24
Hence x = 24 + 116 = 140
Ans: 24, 140
