Question

The second of two numbers is 4 times the first. their sum is 50. find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

The first number is 10, and the second is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

X is equivalent to 10, and the equation for this question is x + 4x = 50. Therefore, 5x = 50. If you divide both sides by 5, you get x = 10. This means the first number is 10, and since the second is 4 times that, 4*10 = 40. 40 + 10 = 50, to check.
