1+5x=1016

Explanation:

Answer 2

Let's call the two numbers x and 5x. We know that their difference is 1016:

5x - x = 1016

Expanding and solving for x:

4x = 1016

x = 254

So, the two numbers are 254 and 5 * 254 = 1270. These are the two numbers that have a difference of 1016 and satisfy the given condition.
