Question

one number is five times the other if their sum is 120 find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x and y are 100 and 20 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5y is the first equation

x+y=120 is the second equation

put the value of x in equation 2

5y+y=120

6y=120

y=120/6

y=20

now put the value of y in equation 1

x=5*20

x=100
