the sum of two numbers is 184. if one - third of the one exceeds one - seventh of the other by 8, find the smaller number.
divide(add(multiply(184, const_3), multiply(multiply(add(const_3, const_4), const_3), 8)), add(add(const_3, const_4), const_3))
let the numbers be x and ( 184 - x ) . then , ( x / 3 ) - ( 184 - x ) / 7 = 8 7 x - 3 ( 184 - x ) = 168 10 x = 720 , x = 72 . hence the correct answer is option a ) 72 .
