first number is x
second is y
4x=1
x+2y=-20
solve for x first
4x=1
divide by 4
x=1/4=0.25
sub
x+2y=-20
0.25+2y=-20
minus 0.25 from both sides
2y=-20.25
divide both sides by 2
y=-10.125
the first number is 0.25 the second is -10.125
or, in fraction form
the first number is 1/4 and the second is -10 and 1/8
