The sum of two numbers is 640. If you divide the bigger number by the smaller, you’ll get quotient 7 and remainder 64. Find the numbers.
Accepted Solution
A:
let 'x' and 'y' represent the two numbers and x>y The sum of two numbers is 640: x + y = 640 If you divide the bigger number by the smaller, you’ll get quotient 7 and remainder 64: x = 7y + 64 by solving the system of equations: x + y = 640 x = 7y + 64 we find: x = 568 y = 72
