y=5x, y-x=1536
Subtract the second equation from the first:
x = 5x-1536
-4x = -1536
x = 1536/4 = 384
y = 5x = 5*384 = 1920
So the smaller number is 384 and the lager is 1920.

Let us assume the numbers are a and b
a = 5b
a-b - 1536 ... (1)
a-5b = 0 .......(2)
(1) - (2) >>
4b =1536
b = 1536/4 = 384
a = 384 x 5 = 1920
Therefore the numbers are 1920 and 384

y = 5x
y-x = 1536
5x -x = 1536
4x = 1536
x = 1536/4 = 384
x = 384 y = 1920

One positive number is 5 times another number...
x=5y
The difference between the two numbers is 1536
x-y=1536
5y-y=1536
4y=1536
y=384
x=5y
x=5*384
x=1920
The numbers are 384 and 1920

One positive number is 5 times another number: → a = 5b The difference between the two numbers is 468: → a - b = 468 a - b = 468 → but you know that: a = 5b 5b - b = 468 4b = 468 b = 468/4 → b = 117 → a = 585

Let x = the smaller no., 5x = the larger.
Equation (finding the smaller no.):
5x - x = 1,536
4x = 1,536
x = 384
Finding the larger no.:
= 384 * 5
= 1,920
Answer: smaller no. is 384; larger no. is 1,920
Proof:
= 1,920 - 384
= 1,536

let the smaller no. be x
so the other is 5x
nd
5x-x=1536
4x=1536
x=384
thus the no. is
5*384=1920
