Answer 1

Answer:

20 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the smaller number and B the larger.

1) B = A+5 "One number (B) is 5 more than another (A)"

2) 5*A = 4*B "5 times the smaller (A) equals 4 times the larger (B)."

Substitute 1) into 2)

3) 5*A) = 4*(A+5) Simplify.

 

3a) 5A = 4A+20 Subtract 4A from both sides.

3b) A = 20 and...

1a) B = A+5

1b) B = 20+5

1c) B = 25

The numbers are: 20 and 25
