Sagot :

The sum of the two numbers is 54. The larger number is 37 and the smaller number is 17. Now, if we divide the two, the answer is 2 with the remainder of 3. Is my answer correct?
let x=smaller number
54-x=larger number
..
(54-x)/x=2+3/x
LCD:x
54-x=2x+3
3x=51
x=17
54-x=37
smaller number=17
larger number=37
