<h3><u>The first number, x, is equal to 955.</u></h3><h3><u>The second number, y, is equal to 191.</u></h3>

x = 5y

x - y = 764

Because we have a value for x, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for y.

5y - y = 764

Combine like terms.

4y = 764

Divide both sides by 4.

y = 191

Because we have a value for y, we can solve for x.

x = 5(191)

x = 955

Answer:

2 % amount = 12000     7% amount = 1000 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2% amount

 then  13 000 - x  = 7% amount

.02x   + .07 (13000-x)  = 310

-.05x + 910 = 310

.05x = 600

x = 600/.05 = 12000      then the 7% amount is 1000
