Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y.

X is six times y.

That is x=6y.......equation (1)

and x+y=140.......equation (2)

Subst. X=6y in equation (2).

X+y=140

6y+y=140.

7y=140.

Y=140/7

Therefore y=20.

Subst. In equation (1)

X=6y.

X=6×20

X=120.

Therefore the numbers are 120 and 20.
