Answer:

x = the first mystery number = 2

y = the second mystery number = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = the first mystery number

y = the second mystery number

8*x + 10*y = 24

8x + 10y = 24

7*x + 10*y = 26

7x + 10y = 26

8x + 10y = 24 (1)

7x + 10y = 26 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate y

8x - 7x = 26 - 24

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into (1)

8x + 10y = 24 (1)

8(2) + 10y = 24

16 + 10y = 24

10y = 24 - 16

10y = 8

y = 8/10

y = 0.8

x = the first mystery number = 2

y = the second mystery number = 0.8
