---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define the numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be one number.
One number = x
Other number = 5x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x - x  = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4x = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 4 on both sides:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2 numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One number = x = 20
Other number = 5x = 5(20) = 100

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers in increasing order are 20 and 100.
