Question

Find two numbers such that one of them is five times the other and their difference is 132.

Answer 1

Let one of the number be x.
∴ Second number = 5x
According to the question:
5x $-$ x = 132
or, 4x = 132
or, $\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{132}{4}$ [Dividing both the sides by 4]
or, x = 33
Thus, the required numbers are x = 33 and 5x = 5$\times$33 = 165.
