One positive number is 5 times another number. the difference between the two numbers is 764, find the numbers

x = 5y

x - y = 764

Because we have a value for x, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for y.

5y - y = 764

Combine like terms.

4y = 764

Divide both sides by 4.

y = 191

Because we have a value for y, we can solve for x.

x = 5(191)

x = 955

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
