One number is 20 more than another. if the the greater number is increased by 4, the result is five times the smaller. find the two numbers

Let's translate the sentences into equations:

One number is 20 more than another:

If the greater number is increased by 4:

The result is five times the smaller [/tex]\ldots=5y[/tex]

So, we have the following system:

Use the expression for x given by the first equation to solve the second:

which easily implies

if you need just tell me and i will come to the rescue.

step-by-step explanation:

a28=58

step-by-step explanation:

a1=a1+(n-1)d

a28= 4+ (28-1)2

a28=4+(27)(2)

a28=4+54

a28=58
