Let the smaller number be α
Let the greater number be β
∴ β=3α+2 and, ... ... ... (i)
4α-5=β ... ... ... (ii)
∴ 4α-5=3α+2 [Inserting the value of β in (ii)]
∴ 4α-3α=2+5
∴ α=7
Now, putting the given equation (ii);
4α-5=β
∴ 4(7)-5=β
∴ β=28-5
∴ β=23
∴ The answer to this question is that the value of α and β are 7 and 23 respectively.
