the larger of two numbers is two more than five times the smaller number. if the sum of the two numbers is 80, find both numbers

x = 41/3

y = 199/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using system of equations

x is smaller number, y is larger

eq1> y + 2 = 5x > y = 5x - 2

eq2> 80 = x + y > y = 80 - x

equate

80 - x = 5x - 2

Solving:

x = 41/3

y = 199/3
