The quotient of two numbers is 4. their sum is 20. What are the two numbers?

9514 1404 393

  16 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the smaller one, then the larger is 4x. Their sum is ...

  x + 4x = 20

  x = 20/5 = 4

The two numbers are 16 and 4.

the correct answer is d

hope this

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
