Question #0c67e

Answer 1

x=10 y=40

Explanation:

Let u take the the first number x and the second y and then restate the problems in terms of x and y:

1. `y=4x`
2. `x+y=50`

To solve it we just substitute `y` with `4x` in the second equation since `y=4x`:

`x+y=50`
`=x+4x=50`
`=5x=50`

Dividing both sides by 5:
`(5x)/5=50/5`
`rarr x=10`

To find y we just have to put value of x in the first equation.
`y=4x=4(10)=40`
