Question 892607: the sum of 2 numbers is 114. If one number is 5 times larger than the smaller number. find the smaller number.

let x be the smaller number
let 5x be the bigger number
5x + x = 114
6x = 114
6x/6 = 114/6
x = 19 smaller number
bigger number = 5x
= 5(19)
= 95
checking:
smaller number + bigger number = 114
19 + 95 = 114
114 = 114
