If the first number less than the second number is 5, find the numbers. let the two numbers be x and y. as per 1st condition; 10x + 5y = 170......(1) as per 2nd condition; x-y = 5 or x = y+5 ...........(2) put the value of 'x' from (2) into (1) and we get, [10(y+5)] + 5y = 170 10y+50+5y = 170 add like terms and we get; 15y+50 = 170 subtract 50 from both sides and we get; 15y = 120 divide both sides by 15 and we get; y = 8 put the value of 'y' in (2) and we get; x = 13 List of Solved Algebra Problems Write expanded form of 78, 129, 93 lita has 5 stamps more than twice the number of adels stamps.
