Answer:

10, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x = larger number

y = smaller number

...

x = 10+y

5x=40+6y

...

Substitution of x into the second equation

5(10+y)=40+6y

50 + 5y = 40 + 6y

...

Isolate y

5y - 6y = 40 - 50

-y = -10

Divide both sides by -1

y=10 is the smaller number

...

Rearrange x = 10+y to y = x-10

Substitute into 5x=40+6y

5x = 40 + 6(x-10)

5x = 40 + 6x - 60

...

Isolate x

5x - 6x = 40 - 60

-x = -20

Divide both sides by -1

X=20 is the larger number
