One positive number is 5 times another number. The difference between the two numbers is 124, find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATIONS:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5y
\n" ); document.write( "x-y =124
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into x-y=124 to solver for y:
\n" ); document.write( "5y-y=124
\n" ); document.write( "4y = 124
\n" ); document.write( "y = 31
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substite into x=5y to solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5*31 = 155
