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.
