Let the bigger number be x
the smaller number be x-10 (Since their difference is 10)
The sum of the smaller number multiplied by 4 = 4(x-10)
Larger number multiplied by 1/3 = (1/3)x
Their sum = 25
So
4(x-10) + (1/3)x = 25
12(x-10) + x = 75
12x - 120 + x = 75
13x = 195
x = 15
Smaller number = 5
Check:
5*4 = 20
15*1/3 = 5
Their sum = 25 correct
2.
Let s be the age of Sophia
sophia is 28 years younger then dick
So Dick's age = 28+s
Gary is 1/4 of Sophia
So Gary = (1/4)s
Maria is 18 years older than Gary
So Maria = (1/4)s + 18
If maria is 28
(1/4)s + 18 = 28
(1/4)s = 10
s = 40
Sophia is 40 years old
Dick is 28+40 = 68 years old.
Check.
Dick = 68
Sophia = 40
Gary = 10
Maria = 10+18 = 28 correct
