the numbers are 10 and 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the larger number.

Let y represent the smaller number.

One number is 8 times another number. This means that

x = 8y

The numbers are both positive and have a difference of 70. This means that

x - y = 70 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 8y into equation 1, it becomes

8y - y = 70

7y = 70

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 7, it becomes

7y/7 = 70/7

y = 10

Substituting y = 10 into x = 8y, it becomes

x = 8 × 10

x = 80
