Answer:
x is 100 and y is 75
Explanation:
one number by x and and the other be y
according to the question y is 6 times greater than x
ie x=6y(1)
and also difference between x and y is 75
ie x-y=75 (2)
now substituting x=6y in (2)
x - y = 75
6y- y = 75
5y = 75
y = 75/5
y= 15
substituting y = 15 in (1)
x - y = 75
x - 15 = 75
x = 75 +15
x= 100
