Question

a number is six times another number. when the numbers are added their sum is 49. what are the numbers

Answer 1

a number is six times another number

let x = a number
y = another number
therefore
x = 6y

their sum is 49
x + y = 49

if i substitute x into 6y

6y + y = 49
7y = 49
y = 1

can you find x now?
