Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'
According to first condition,
5x = y -0
Thus, 5x - y = 0 -1
According to second condition,
x - y = 132 -2
Multiplying equation 2 by 5
5x - 5y = 660 -3
Subtracting equation 1 from equation 3
5x - 5y = 660
-5x + y = -0
___________
-4y = 660
Thus,
-y = 165
y = -165
Substituting value of y in equation 0,
5x = -165
x = -33
