Problem 1 The sum of two numbers is 120. If the greater number is four times the less, what are the numbers?
Solution 1
The sum of two numbers is 120 $x + 4x = 120$
$5x = 120$
$x = 24$
$4x = 96$
The numbers are 24 and 96 answer
Problem 2 The greater of two numbers is twice the less, and the sum of the numbers is 96. What are the numbers?
Solution 2
The sum of the numbers is 96 $x + 2x = 96$
$3x = 96$
$x = 32$
$2x = 64$
The numbers are 32 and 64 answer
