Answer:
4 and 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers is 24.
One of the numbers is 5 times larger than the other.
Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.
x + y = 24
x = 5y
Put x as 5y in the first equation.
5y + y = 24
6y = 24
y = 4
Put y as 4 in the second equation.
x = 5(4)
x = 20
