The sum of two numbers is 42. the second is 6 times the first

The numbers are 6 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two unknown numbers be x and y.

x + y = 42

y is 6 times x. Lets replace y with 6x.

x + 6x = 42

Add like terms.

7x = 42

We want to get x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 7, we need to divide it by 7. We also need to divide the other side of the equation by 7.

=

The two sevens on the left side cancel each other out, and we are just left with x. Now we just need to do the division on the right side.

x = 6

Now that we know that x = 6, we can plug in 6 to our original equation.

6 + y = 42

We need to get y by itself. Move 6 to the right side. Remember, 'change side, change sign.'

y = 42 - 6

y = 36

Now we have our two numbers, 6 and 36.

6 + 36 = 42

step-by-step explanation:

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
