A number divided by 5 minus another number is 10.
The sum of the two numbers is 6.
What are the two numbers?
---
Equations:
x/(5-y) = 10
x+y = 6
--------------
Modify:
x = 50-10y
x = 6-y
--------------
Substitute and solve for "y":
6-y = 50-10y
9y = 44
y = 4.89
----------------
Since x = 6-y
x = 1.11
