Answer:

80 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

80/4=20

80+4=84

Answer:

80 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Gussing that the two numbers are m and n where m is greater than n.

We know that the quotient of the two numbers is 20. This means that:

m / n = 20

m = 20 n ..............> Step 1

We also know that the sum of the two numbers is 84. This means that:

m + n = 84 .............> Step 2

Substitute by Step 1 in Step 2 as follows:

20n + n = 84

21n = 84

n = 4

Substitute with the value of n in Step 1 to get m as follows:

m = 20n

m = 20*4 = 80

Hence, based on the above calculations:

The two numbers are 80 and 4
