Question

The sum of five times one number plus three times a second number is eight. The sum of three times the first number plus five times the second number is 24. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

5×a+3×b=8
5×1=5
3×1=3
5+3=8


3×c+5×d=24
3×3=9
5×3=15
9+15=24

For the 1st row (a would be 1)
and (b would be 1)

For the 2nd row (c would be 3)
and (d would be 3)

Hope this helped =)
