Question 792139: One positive integer is 5 times another positive integer and their product is 320. What are the positive integers?

x = 5y
xy = 320

Substitute the first equation into the second equation.

(5y)(y) = 320
5y^2 = 320
y^2 = 64
y = 8 (y must be positive)

The integers are (x, y) = (40, 8).
