Word Number Problem

Question

One number is four more than four times another. If their sum is decreased by five, the result is nineteen. Find the numbers.

The smaller of the numbers is _____  and the larger is _____?

Answer 1

Small : x= 4

Larger: 4x+4= 20

X + 4X+4 - 5 = 19

5X -1 = 19

5X-1+1 = 19+1

5X = 20

5×/5=20/5

X=4

Check:

(4+20)-5 =19

24-5=19

19=19
