    A = first number (larger number)

    b = second number (smaller number)

    a = 8b

    a - b = 70 *

    * since a is the larger number and their difference is positive, we want a-b.

    plug the first equation into the second to get:

    a - b = 70

    (8b) - b = 70

    8b - b = 70

    Your correct answer would be choice #2.
