Answer:

The numbers are 11 and 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 5y - 6 This is just the first sentence written as an equation.

x + y = 60 This is just the second sentence written as an equation.

5y - 6 + y = 60 Substitute x for what you know it is equal to

6y - 6 = 60 Collect like terms

6y = 66 Add 6 to each side

y = 11 Divide each side by 6

x = 5 × 11 - 6 Substitute y for what you know it is

x = 55 - 6 Simplify by working out 5 × 11 = 55

x = 49 Subtract 6 from 55 to get 49

Answer:

The answer is $n=28\frac{11}{15}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3.

Now, to solve the equation:

$18\frac{2}{5} - n = -10 \frac{1}{3}$

Converting the mixed fractions to improper:

⇒ $\frac{92}{5} -n=-\frac{31}{3}$

Moving the numbers on one side and variable to the other:

⇒ $\frac{92}{5} +\frac{31}{3}=n$

Now, solving the factions:

⇒ $\frac{92\times 3+31\times 5}{15}=n$

⇒ $\frac{276+155}{15}=n$

⇒ $\frac{431}{15}=n$

⇒ $28\frac{11}{15}=n$

Therefore, the answer is $n=28\frac{11}{15}$ .
