Question 927461: a number is 2/5 times another number. if their sum is 70. find the numbers Found 2 solutions by TimothyLamb, Stitch:Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = (2/5)y
x + y = 70
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - 0.4y = 0
x + y = 70
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

"A" by itself is the same as writing 1A or A
Combine like terms
Multiply both sides by 5/7 to cancel out the 7/5
-----------------------
Now take (2/5)x 50 to get the second number
