Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x.

So, according to Question,

the larger number will be 1+4x.

Now, sum of the numbers is 61, like this:-

[tex]1 + 4x + x = 61[/tex]

[tex]5x = 61 - 1[/tex]

[tex]5x = 60[/tex]

[tex]\tt{x = \dfrac{60}{5}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\tt{x = 12}}[/tex] is the required Answer.

Hope it helps :)
