Question

One number is five more than five times another. If their sum is decreased by four, the result is twenty-five. Find

the mumbers.

Answer 1

2 times 12 = 24 24+5=29 29-4=25

Answer 2

if the sum is 29, which is a prime number, there is no two numbers, unless both are decimals. So its either a trick question, or there's endless possibilities. Hope I could help :)

Explanation:

x=5y+5

x+y=25+4

5y+5+y=29

6y=29

29/6= 4.833333333333
