Twenty - four is divided into two parts such that 7 times the first part added to 5 times the second part makes 146. Find each part.

Answer»

Let the two parts be x and (24 - x) 

According to the question 

7x + 5(24 - x) = 146 

By cross multiplication 

⇒ 2x = 146 - 120 

⇒ 2x = 26 

⇒ x = 13 

So the parts are 13 and (24 - 13) = 11
