Answer 1

Answer:

x=8 ,y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

let x be smaller number and y be larger number

according to the question

x+y=48 equation 1

and

(y)*(1/5)=x

(y/5)=x

y=5x equation 2

putting value of y in equation 1

we get

x+5x=48

6x=48

x=8

putting value of x in equation 2

we get

y=5*8

=40

hence the values of x and y are 8 and 40

Answer 2

Answer:

40,8

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=48

x=y/5

y=5x

x+y=48

6x=48

x=8

y=5x

y=5×8=40
