The sum of two numbers is 20. four times the larger is one less than five times the smaller. what are the numbers?

n → smaller

20 - n → larger

4 (20 - n) = 5n - 1

80 - 4n = 5n - 1

81 = 9n

n = 9

20 - n = 11

Therefore, the numbers are 9 and 11.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
