Hi,
One positive number{{{highlight(y)}}}  <u>is</u>    5 times another number{{{highlight(x)}}}. 
Question states*** The difference between the two numbers is 1232 
  y - x = 1232          || {{{y = 5x}}}
  5x - x = 1232
      4x = 1232
       x = 308, the smaller number.  The larger y is 1540
and...
{{{1540 - 308 = 1232}}}
