Question

One number is 1 more than 4 times another. The sum of the numbers is 6 Find the two numbers.

Answer 1

1 and 5

Explanation:

Lets x and y be those numbers, and lets x be 1 more greater then 4 times y. Then we have:

X=1+4y

The sum of the numbers is 6, so

X+y=6

Put first equation in 2nd for x we get:

1+4y+y=6

1+5y=6

5y=5

Y=1+4*1=5

Then x=1+4*1=1+4=5
