Answer:
8 and 48
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be written as a system of equations. X will be the smaller number and y will be the larger:
6x = y
x + y = 56
Then substitute y in the second equation for 6x(seen in first equation) and solve.
x + 6x = 56
7x = 56
x = 8
So one number is 8. To find the other plug in 8 for x in either of the original equations (both get the same answer for y).
6x = y
6 * 8 = y
48 = y
Then double check by seeing if they fit the requirements of the problem.
Hope this helps!
