The sum of two numbers is 12, when the larger number is added to 5 times the smaller , the sum is 32 find the numbers? I need help pleasse! Equation form please!!
Let the numbers be a and b where b is bigger than a
a+b = 12 (1a) b=12-a (1b)
b+5a=32 (2)
Sub b=12-a into (2)
12-a +5a = 32
12 +4a = 32
4a = 20
a = 5
b=12-a = 12-5 =7
