Answer:

x = - 104, y = - 130

Explanation:

the quotient of the 2 numbers is


(x+26)/(x) =
(4)/(5) ( cross- multiply )

5(x + 26) = 4x

5x + 130 = 4x ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x + 130 = 0 ( subtract 130 from both sides )

x = - 130

First number is - 130 + 26 = - 104

second number is - 130
