<span>Let x=smaller number 
Then x+5=larger number 
Now we are told the following: 
1/5(x+x+5)=x-5 multiply each side by 5 
x+x+5=5x-25 subtract 5x and also 5 from both sides 
x+x+5-5-5x=5x-5x-25-5 collect like terms
</span><span>-3x=-30 divide both sides by -3
x=10 smaller number 
x+5=10+5=15  larger number 
CK 
1/5(10+15)=10-5 
1/5(25)=10-5
5=5 </span>

Answer: 300.

Step-by-step explanation: 225/(No denominator) = 75/100.

225 doesn't go in 75. So, 75/100 divided by 5 = 15/20.

I want to find what number you multiply from 15/20 to get 225/(No

denominator). So, I divide 225 by 15. = 15, so multiply 15 x 15 = 225, and

the denominator, 20 x 15= 300.

(Sorry if you don't understand, I don't really know how to explain things.)

But here's your answer!
