Using the information from the question, one can construct two equations:
... (1)
... (2)
by substituting (1) into (2) to find x
\frac{5}{4z} = \frac{1}{4}
⇒ z = 5
By substituting value of z into (1)
⇒ 4 (5) = x
⇒ x = 20
Thus the two numbers are 5 & 20
by substituting (1) into (2) to find x
\frac{5}{4z} = \frac{1}{4}
