Question

sum of two smaller numbers
If larger a number is 5 times greater than the
thrice of the smaller number then the find
the larger number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the numbers. (1) y is greater than x by 15. (2) 5y - 2x is 3.

(1) y=x+15  

(2) 5y−2x=3  

Substituting (x + 15) for y in (2), we get

5(x+15)−2x=3  

5x−2x+75=3  

3x+75=3  

3x=−72  

x=−24  

Let’s feed the value of x into (1).

y=−24+15  

y=−9  

Now let’s feed the values of x and y into (2).

−45−(−48)=−45+48=3
