ALGEBRA.<br />

Substituting the value of y, found above,<br />

18;r— 9^ = 18;<br />

whence,<br />

:r = 2.<br />

y=1x = ^.<br />

Hence, the number = \Q>x -|- j = 20 + 4 = 24. Ans.<br />

(257)<br />

Let X = greater number.<br />

y = less number.<br />

Thea, x-\-4: = diy, (1)<br />

and .r+8 = |.<br />

Cleanng of fractions, 4;r+ 16 = 13y,<br />

and 2y + 16 = x;<br />

whence, Idy — 4:X = 16.<br />

(2)<br />

(3)<br />

2y- ;r = - 16. (4)<br />

Multiplying (4) by 4, and subtracting from (3)<br />

5y = 80,<br />

or y = 16. Ans.<br />

Substituting in (4), 32 — ;r = — 16;<br />

whence, x = 48. Ans.
