Question 883450
One number is 6 more than another. The quotient of the smaller divided by the larger is 4/7. What is the sum of the 2 numbers? 
----------------
Equations:
x - y = 6
---------
x/y = 4/7
------------
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
(y+6)/y = 4/7
7y + 42 = 4y
3y = -42
y = -14
---------
Solve for "x":
x - y = 6
x = 6-14
x = -8
