Question

One number is 5 more than another. Five times the smaller equals 4 times the larger. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

the smaller number is `20` and the larger number is `25`

Explanation:

Let the smaller number be `x`, then the larger number is `x+5`

So the equation is:

`5x=4(x+5)`

`5x=4x+20`

`x=20`

Therefore, the smaller number is `20` and the larger number is `25`
