    				| 1. | 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 | |
