<PRE><B>Question 226009</B>
One number is four times another number, if their sum is 95, what are the numbers?


Step 1.  Let x be one number.


Step 2.  Let 4x be the other number.


Step 3.  then x+4x=95 since their sum is 95


Step 4.  Solving yields the following steps


{{{5x=95}}}


Divide by 5 to both sides of the equation


{{{5x/5=95/5}}}


{{{x=19}}} and {{{4x=76}}} Also, note their sum is 95.


Step 5.  The numbers are 19 and 76.


I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
