The sum of two numbers is 18, 5 times the number subtracted from 4 over 7 of the second number is 14 find the number

First number x = -0.6

Second number y = 18.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number = x

and Second number = y

Sum of two numbers is 18. We can write it in mathematical expression as:

5 times the number subtracted from 4 over 7 of the second number is 14. We can write it in mathematical expression as:

So, solving the equations simultaneously we can find value of x and y

Let:

Finding value of x from equation 1 and put it in eq(2)

Put in equation 2

So, Value of y= 18.66

Now finding value of x, By putting value of y in eq(1)

So, First number x = -0.6

Second number y = 18.66

3 is greater then both of those numbers
