(x + y = 125)3
5x - 3y = 41
3x - 3y = 375
8x = 416, x = 52
52 + y = 125, y = 73

Solution: the numbers are 52 and 73

2/5 (x-4) =2x. Solve for x

Bess [88]

$\dfrac{2}{5}(x-4)=2x\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\\\2(x-4)=10x\ \ \ \ |use\ distributive\ property:a(b-c)=ab-ac\\\\2x-8=10x\ \ \ |add\ 8\ to\ both\ sides\\\\2x=10x+8\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 10x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-8x=8\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-8)\\\\\boxed{x=-1}$
