Let, the first (smaller) number = x
Larger number = 8x
Then, 8x - x = 70
7x = 70
x = 70/7
x = 10
& 8(10) = 80
In short, Your Numbers would be, 10 & 80
Hope this helps!
The mean can be found by adding the two numbers and dividing by 2
let the second number be y
(x + y)/2 = 1/2x + 1
solve for y
multiply each side by 2
x + y = 2(1/2x + 1)
distribute
x + y = x + 2
subtract x on both sides
y = 2
ANSWER: the second number is 2
