Let <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> be the two numbers.

Their sum is 140, so

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 140

Twice the first number <em>x</em> is 2<em>x</em>. 5 more than this is 2<em>x</em> + 5. This is the value of the second number, so

<em>y</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 5

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for <em>x</em> :

<em>x</em> + (2<em>x</em> + 5) = 140

3<em>x</em> + 5 = 140

3<em>x</em> = 135

<em>x</em> = 135/3 = 45

Then

<em>y</em> = 2*45 + 5 = 95

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by Subsitution

x = 50 - y

Replace this into the second equation

y(50 - y) = 300

50y -  {y}^{2}  = 300

Write in standard form

-  {y}^{2}  + 50y = 300

Use the quadratic formula, and our answer will be

(6.97,43.02)

(43.02,6.97)

The angles of a quadrilateral add to 360, so we can solve for x by adding the 4 angle measures together and setting it equal to 360:

90 + 140 + (x - 10) + (x - 20) = 360

Combine like terms:

230 + 2x - 30 = 360

200 + 2x = 360

200 - (200) + 2x = 360 - (200)

2x = 160

Divide both sides by 2:

2x/(2) = 160/(2)

x = 80
