    G. - 10

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let one number = x

    Let the second one = y

    Equations

    y = 5x

    x + y = - 60

    Solution.

    Put 5x in for y in the second equation.

    x + 5x = - 60 Combine like terms on the left

    6x = - 60 Divide by 6

    6x/6 = - 60/6 Do the division

    x = - 10

    So one of the numbers is minus 10
