one number is one more than a second number. five times the first is 8 les than 4 times the second
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the first number
y = the second number
one number is one more than a second number:
x = 1 + y
five times the first is 8 les than 4 times the second:
5x = 4y - 8
by solving the system of equations
x = 1 + y
5x = 4y - 8
we find
x = -12
y = -13
