Question

Two numbers add to 336 and the first is 126 bigger than the five times the second. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

301, 35

Step-by-step explanation:

1st number = x, 2nd = y

x + y = 336

x = 126 + 5y

Then

(126 + 5y) + y = 336

6y = 336 - 126 = 210

y = 210/6 = 35

x = 126 + 5y = 126 + 5*35 = 301

Or x = 336 - 35 = 301

The two numbers are 301 and 35
