The larger of two numbers is four times the smaller, and their sum is 85. Find the two
numbers.
Let x be the smallest number, and let y and z be the larger numbers....therefore, we have.. (y + z) = 4x And x + (y + z) = 85 substitute for (y + z) x + 4x = 85 5x = 85 divide by 5 on both sides x = 17 And (y + z) = 4(17) = 68 Unfortunately, we cannot determine the exact values for y and z....there are infinite possibilities.....!!!
