Question 158

The difference of two two-digit numbers is 18. Four times the second number is 18 more than thrice the first number. Find sum of both numbers.

Solution

Let the numbers be $$x$$ and $$y$$

=> $$x - y = 18$$ -----------------Eqn(1)

and $$4y - 3x = 18$$

Using equation (1), we get :

=> $$4(x - 18) - 3x = 18$$

=> $$4x - 72 - 3x = 18$$

=> $$x = 18 + 72 = 90$$

=> $$y = 90 - 18 = 72$$

$$\therefore$$ Sum of numbers = $$90 + 72 = 162$$
