Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the larger number and s be the smaller one.

Then we have two equations.

(1) L – s = 25

(2)       s = L/6     Multiply both sides by 6

        6s = L         Substitute the value for L in Equation(1)

 6s – s = 25        Combine like terms

       5s = 25        Divide both sides by 5

         s = 5

The value of the smaller number is 5.
