let's denote the first number with x, and the second number with y. So,
8x + 5y = -13
x + y = 1
y = 1 - x substitute 1 - x for y at the first equation;
8x + 5(1 - x) = -13
8x + 5 - 5x = -13
3x + 5 = -13 subtract 5 to both sides;
3x = -18 divide by 3 to both sides;
x = -6
y = 1 - x substitute -6 for x ;
y = 1 -(-6)
y = 1 + 6 = 7
Thus the numbers are -6 and 7.

(-8,1)
twice the difference of three times a number and eight
The numbers are 19 and 5
The sum of the numbers is 240. If one number is 5 times as big as the other then 240 must be divided by 6. 240/6 = 40. The smaller number must be this while the larger number is 5 times the size. Small number = 40 Larger number = 40 * 5 = 200
The numbers are 5 and 17.
"The sum of a number and three times another number is 18. find the numbers if their product is a maximum?"
one number is 4 less than eleven times another the sum of the two numbers is 92. Find the numbers.

38 and 190
5 and 2
Only 1 and 59 - it's a prime number.
Numbers are 9 and 2
There is an infinite number of numbers when multiplied by 8 that are greater than 72
As an equation: 8x = 64
nothing stupid i mean what a question
