Question 1135028
The sum of two numbers is sixty-five.<pre> 

Larger+Smaller = 65
        Larger = 65-Smaller</pre>  

If the larger number is divided by the smaller number, then the quotient is
three and the remainder is five. Find the numbers.<pre>
        <U>        3           </U>
 Smaller)65-Smaller     
         <u>3×Smaller          </u>
         65-Smaller-3×Smaller = REMAINDER = 5

                      65-S-3S = 5
                        65-4S = 5
                          -4S = -60
                            S = 15

So Smaller = 15
and Larger = 65-Smaller = 65-15 = 50
