Hello,

Let's not a and b the two numbers.

One number is seven less than a second number.

(1) b = a - 7

Five times the first is 2 more than 6 times the second.

(2) 5a = 2 + 6b

(2)+5*(1) gives

5a + 5b = 2 + 6b + 5a - 35

b = 35 - 2 = 33

a = 40

The value of the first number is

Thank you

fa tha first one you gonna add y to both sides

it look like this

x-y+y=6+y

x=y+6

x =y+6

fa tha second one

you gonna flip tha equation

it gonna look like x-4y=y

then add 4 to both sides

it gonna look like tha

x-4 +4 =y +4

so therefore tha answer is x=y+4
