find two numbers such that one of them is five times the other and their difference is 132.
5x - x = 132
4x = 132
x = 33
To solve this problem, let's assume that one number is 'x'.
According to the problem statement, the other number is five times 'x', which can be written as 5x.
The difference between the two numbers is 132, so we can write the equation as:
5x - x = 132
Simplifying the equation, we have:
4x = 132
To find the value of 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4x/4 = 132/4
x = 33
So, one number is 33 and the other number is 5 times 33, which is 165.
Therefore, the two numbers are 33 and 165.
