Answer:
19 and 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the larger number
x - 1 + x = 4x - 41
We can combine like terms and isolate x:
2x - 1 = 4x - 41
2x = 40
x = 20
20 - 1 = 19

Step-by-step explanation:
Sales revenue x (100%+sales tax rate) = total sales including tax
sales revenue x 1.085 (100% + 8.5%) = 78120
sales revenue = 78120/1.085
sales revenue = 72000
total sales including tax - sales revenue = sales tax
78120 = 72000 = 6120

and 64 = 15a and a = 64/15
That one was quite easy. Finding b is a bit more difficult.
The formula for finding b is

Solving for b:

Filling in we have
and
and
so b = 136/15
