4-8). The sum of two numbers is 12. One number is 5 times the other. Find the numbers. (Enter solutions from smallest to largest.)

OpenStudy (watchmath):

Let the two numbers be \(x\) and \(5x\). Then \(x+5x=12\). Hence \(6x=12\). So \(x=2\). Therefore the two numbers are \(2\) and \(10\).

Yes 2 and 10 are correct
