The first and second number will be x and y respectively. x = 5y. And it says the product (multiplication) of x and y is 245. xy = 245. Since it tells you what x is equal to, plug it in the 2nd equation. 5y times y = 245 \[5y ^{2} = 245\] Divide by 5 to isolate the variable. \[y ^{2} = 49\] Take the square root of y to get rid of the 2nd power. y = 7 Then plug y in to get x. xy = 245 7x = 245 Divide by 49. x = 35
