Question 221619
The larger of two numbers is 8 less than four times the smaller. The sum of the two is numbers is 47. Find the two numbers.
lets call the smaller number x
then the larger number would be 4x-8
if sum is 47 then the following is true
{{{x+4x-8=47}}}
{{{5x-8=47}}}
{{{5x=55}}}
{{{x=11}}}
so the smaller number is 11, then the larger number is 4*11-8=44-8=36
