This one has me stumped and I can't seem to figure it out.
The difference between two numbers is 55.
Four times the smaller number plue five times the large number is 176. What are the two numbers?
I have tried setting up two different equations.
The first part I figured to be x-y=55
The second part is 4s+5L=176
I tried to solve for s giving me 44, but then that would make my answer a negative and it is not.
Please help! What am I doing wrong?
