One number is 4 times the other, so x and 4x.
The sum of two numbers is 4x+x=70.
Solve for x to get
x=70/5=14
the other number is 4x=4*14=56
16:29:15 I think that would be it but, I'm really sorry if that's not right
Answer:
x^2 - 5x = 14
x^2 - 5x-14 = 0
Now, we have to find the multiples of -14 and numbers that add/subtract to -5; this helps to find the factors.
-7+2 = -5
-7*2 = -14
Based on the above info, we can find out my factors; they are:-
(x-7)(x+2)
X(a+b)-y(a+b)
*factor out (a+b)*
=(a+b)(x-y)
