Question 1005737: The sum of two numbers is 19. The difference between four times on number and the other number is 41. Find the values of the two numbers. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call the numbers x and y. Then we have
x + y = 19 and
4x - y = 41
Now add these equations and get
5x = 60
x = 12 and then
y = 7
