Answer: [tex]\Large\boxed{3.52~;~66.88}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

One number is 19 times the other

The smaller number is less than 5

Sum = 70.4

Set variables

Let x be the smaller number

Let 19x be the larger number

Set equation according to the given information

Smaller number + Larger number = Sum

x + 19x = 70.4

Simplify by addition

20x = 70.4

Divide 20 on both sides

20x / 20 = 70.4 / 20

[tex]\Large\boxed{x=3.52}[/tex]

Substitute values into the variables to find the larger number

Larger number = 19x

                         = 19 (3.52)

                         [tex]\Large\boxed{=66.88}[/tex]

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

smaller number 3.52

greater number 66.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be two numbers ,where x < 5 and x ≤ y.

x + y = 70.4

y = 19x

By replacing y by 19x in the first equation we get :

x + 19x = 70.4

Then

20x = 70.4

Then

x = 70.4÷20

  = 3.52

y = 19x

Then

y = 19 × 3.52  (just replace x by 3.52)

  = 66.88
