An integer x is divided by an integer y, and the quotient is 24.The sum of these two integers is 75. Which is the value of x?

Solution:
Let x and y be the two integers:

x/y=24  -----> 1st equation
x+y=75 -----> 2nd equation

y=75-x ------> from the 2nd equation

Substitute 2nd equation to 1st equation

x/(75-x)=24
x=24(75-x)
x=1800-24x
25x=1800
x=1800/25
x=72

The correct answer is: 
E. 72
