Question 761794: One positive number is 5 times another number. The difference between the two numbers is 1248, find the numbers:
The two numbers in increasing order (lowest to highest) are ______ and ______. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Positive number = x
Another number = 5x
5x - x = 1248
4x = 1248
x = 312
Positive number = 312
Another number = 1560
1560 - 312 = 1248.
Hope this helps.
