One positive number is 5 times another number. The difference between the two numbers is 408, find the numbers
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5y
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 408
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "5y-y = 408
\n" ); document.write( "4y = 408
\n" ); document.write( "y = 102
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Since x = 5y, x = 510
