Question #2764f

Answer 1

This involves setting up two linear equations and solving for the two unknowns.

Explanation:

If you let the two numbers be represented by x and y, you can set up two equations and solve by substitution.

Let

`y>x`

We know the following two things

`y=6x`

`y=x+25`

Now substitute the first expression into the second one and solve for x

`6x=x+25`

`5x=25`

`x=5`

Next, solve for y

`y=6*5=30`

Now go back and check that the two stipulations are correct.
