The sum of twice a first number and five times a second number is 92. If the second number is subtracted from five times the first number the result is 14. Find the numbers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Let x be first number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let y be the second number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Let 2x+5y=92 since the sum of twice a first number and five times a second number is 92.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Also, 5x-y=14 since the second number is subtracted from five times the first number the result is 14.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. We have a system of equations given by Steps 3 and 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x+5y=92
\n" ); document.write( "5x-y=14\r
\n" ); document.write( "

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
\n" ); document.write( " \"+system%28+%0D%0A++++2%5Cx+%2B+5%5Cy+=+92%2C%0D%0A++++5%5Cx+%2B+-1%5Cy+=+14+%29%0D%0A++\"We'll use substitution. After moving 5*y to the right, we get:
\n" ); document.write( " \"2%2Ax+=+92+-+5%2Ay\", or \"x+=+92%2F2+-+5%2Ay%2F2\". Substitute that
\n" ); document.write( " into another equation:
\n" ); document.write( " \"5%2A%2892%2F2+-+5%2Ay%2F2%29+%2B+-1%5Cy+=+14\" and simplify: So, we know that y=16. Since \"x+=+92%2F2+-+5%2Ay%2F2\", x=6.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Answer: \"system%28+x=6%2C+y=16+%29\".
