<PRE><B>Question 796600</B>
A certain number is four times another number. When six is added to the sum of the two numbers, the result is 16. What are the two numbers? 
-------------------------
Equations:
x = 4y
x+y+6 = 16
---------------
Modify:
4y+y+6 = 16
5y = 10
y = 2
----
x = 4y = 8
