The quotient of two numbers is 20, and their sum is 84. What are the two numbers?

a/b = 20
a + b = 84 b = 84 - a
a / (84 - a) = 20 a = 20 (84 - a) a = 1680 - 20a 21a = 1680 a = 1680/21 a = 80
b = 84 - a b = 84 - 80 b = 4
Therefore, the two numbers are 80 and 4

The two numbers are 80 and 4. This is derived from the equations formed by the conditions of their quotient being 20 and their sum being 84. By solving the system of equations, we find both numbers clearly.
