Algebra.Com's Answer #167368 by drj(1380)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
