Question 1101958
.
<pre>
4x + 3y = 25,     (1)
4x - 3y =  7.     (2)
---------------------------Subtract eq(2) from eq(1). You will get

6y = 25 - 7 = 18  ===>  y = {{{18/6}}} = 3.


Then from (1),  4x = 25 - 3y = 25 - 3*3 = 25 - 9 = 16;


Hence, x = {{{16/4}}} = 4.


<U>Answer</U>.  First number is  4;  second number is  3.
</pre>

The good style in solving such problems is to notice/(to observe) immediately from the condition that the difference 
between two combinations is 6 times the second number, which, in turn, is the difference 25-7 = 18,
and to deduce from it MENTALLY that y= 3, without writing any equations.


This problem is for mental solution, and it would be ideally if you see the solution immediately/instantly.
