The sum of two numbers is 86. The second is 1 more than 4 times the first. What are the two numbers?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x+y =86
\n" ); document.write( "x+(4x+1)=86
\n" ); document.write( "x+4x+1=86
\n" ); document.write( "5x+1=86
\n" ); document.write( "5x=86-1
\n" ); document.write( "5x=85
\n" ); document.write( "5x/5=85/5
\n" ); document.write( "x=17 [First number]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(4x+1) [The second number]
\n" ); document.write( "4(17)+1
\n" ); document.write( "69
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, 17+69=86
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
