The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5
x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5
The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15
The sum of six times a number & 5.
explanation: b is your variable which is going to by multiplied by 6, since there is no other symbol next to it. afterwards, you would add 5 to get your final answer.
