Question 785225
we have two numbers, but we will use x for both of them

first number doesent have anything being done to it, so it will just be x

x

added to another number

x +

second number is 5 times the other number plus 7, sooo...

x + 5x + 7 = 55

subtract 7 from both sides

x + 5x = 48

combine like terms

6x= 48

divide both sides by 6

x = 8

first number is 8, the second number is 5 x 8 + 7 = 47

so your numbers are 8 and 47
