Answer:
24 and 6 are the 2 numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 numbers be x and y , then
x + y = 30 → (1)
y = 4x → (2) [ one number is 4 times the other ]
Substitute y = 4x into (1)
x + 4x = 30
5x = 30 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 6
Substitute x = 6 into (2)
y = 4 × 6 = 24
The 2 numbers are 24 and 6
