Question 1062850: One number is four more than another number. The difference between five times the smaller number and six times the larger number is 5. Find each of the numbers. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the smaller number. Then the larger number is n+4. So:
6(n+4)=5n+5
6n+24=5n+5
n=5-24=-19
The numbers are -19 and -15. ☺☺☺☺
