If you don't know something in algebra, the best way is to convert the unknown information into variables.
Let the smaller number equal x
and the larger one equal y
The difference between two numbers is 110, so that equals
y-x=110
If I used the smaller minus the larger, it would result in a negative number.
Six times the smaller is equal to five more than the larger,
6x = y+5
That is the same as a system of linear equations:
y-x=110
6x=y+5
Substitute the equations here and see the answer:
