The numbers are "x" and "y";
Therefore, we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=24                         ⇒x=24-y
x/y=5

solve this problem by substitution method.
(24-y)/y=5
24-y=5y
-y-5y=-24
-6y=-24
y=-24/-6=4

x=24-y
x=24-4
x=20

Answer: the numer are: 20 and 4

Tom borrowed $35,000 to remodel his house. At the end of 5-year loan, he had repaid a total of $46,375. At what simple interest
Wewaii [24]
The formula for simple interest is <em>I</em> = <em>prt</em>, where <em>I</em> is the amount of interest, <em>p</em> is the principal borrowed, <em>r</em> is the interest rate written as a decimal number, and <em>t</em> is the amount of time in years.  First we find the amount of interest.  He borrowed $35000 but paid back $46375.  That means he paid 46375-35000 = $11375 in interest.  We can now substitute our information into our interest formula:
11375=35000(<em>r</em>)(5)
11375=35000(5)(<em>r</em>) ----- remember that multiplication is commutative
11375=175000<em>r</em>
Divide both sides by 175000 to cancel it:
11375/175000 = 175000<em>r</em>/175000
0.065 = <em>r</em>
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
0.065(100) = 6.5%
