Answer:
x,y = 191.67, 38.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y are two numbers
one of the them is five times the other
x=5y......................(1)
Their difference is 230
x+y=230 ..................(2)
Put the value of x in above equation
5y+y=230
6y=230
y=230/6
y=115/3 = 38.33
Put the value of y in equation (1)
x=5y
x=5(38.33)
x=191.67
so x,y = 191.67, 38.33
