Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The two unknown numbers are differ by
Formula used:
We will take the variable term to left hand side and constant term to right hand side.
Calculation:
Consider that the two unknown numbers is
Then the difference between them is
Therefore
Now when larger number is divided by the smaller number then the quotient is
Therefore
Here we substitute the value of
We have
Recall that we will take the variable term to left hand side and constant term to right hand side.
