Answer:

The equation used to find the two numbers is:

x+5x=198

and numbers are:

33 and 165

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two odd numbers is 198.

One of the numbers is 5 times the other.

Let one number be x

other number=5x

⇒ x+5x=198

⇒ 6x=198

Dividing both sides by 6,we get

x=33

Other number=5x=5×33=165

The equation used to find the two numbers is:

x+5x=198

and numbers are:

33 and 165

You could use m= the lesser number and n as the greater number. Since one is 5 times the other you will start with m+5m=198. Then you will combine like terms so it will become 6m=198. Then you will solve it as a regular equation. m=33 and n=165.
