A number is six times another number. When the numbers are added,
their sum is 49. What are the numbers?
-----------------
Let the numbers be x and y.
---
x = 6y
x + y = 49
---------------
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
6y+y=49
7y = 49
y = 7
---
Since x = 6y, x = 42
------------------------
The numbers are 7 and 42
