Need help. The sum of two numbers is 33. The sum of the smaller and 7 times larger is 195. Find the numbers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

x +  y =  33,    (1)
x + 7y = 195.    (2)

Distract (1) from (2). You will get

7y - y = 195 - 33,

6y = 162,

y = 162%2F6 = 27.

Now find x yourself.
