19x + y = 70.4 \\  x - y = 5 \\ adding \: both \\ 20x = 75.4 \\ do \: the \: rest \: yy \\ yourself

karlamariemanching: doesn't make sense. coz when you multiply 3.77 (which is the answer when you divide 75.4 by 20) the answer is 71.63 which is more than the sum of the two numbers.

Let the numbers be A,B
A+B = 70.4
now,
A = 19B
19B + B =70.4
20B = 70.4
B = 70.4/20
B = 3.52
A = 19 × 3.52
A = 66.88
