The first number, x, is equal to 955.

The second number, y, is equal to 191.

x = 5y

x - y = 764

Because we have a value for x, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for y.

5y - y = 764

Combine like terms.

4y = 764

Divide both sides by 4.

y = 191

Because we have a value for y, we can solve for x.

x = 5(191)

x = 955
