Question

Then sum of two numbers is 50. The 2nd number is 5 times the 1st. find the number??

Answer 1

x+y=50
y=5x

Answer 2

so x=8 and 1/3 or

\[\frac{25}{3}\]

Answer 3

then put that into the equations and solve for y (you'll have to change 50 into thirds) or you can just multipy that number by five to see that it is

\[y=\frac{125}{3}\]

adding them together you get

\[\frac{25}{3}+\frac{125}{3}=\frac{150}{3}=50\]
