Question

The sum of the two numbers exceeds thrice
the smaller by 3. If their difference is 5, find
the numbers(Substitution method)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 7 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y=3y+3

x+y-3y=3

x-2y=3-------♡

Also,

x-y=5---------☆

Subtract ☆ from ♡

x-2y=3

x-y=5

-_____

-y=-2

y=2

x-y=5

x-2=5

x=5+2

x=7

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the larger number be x

and

the smaller be y.

the first condition says x+y−3y=3.

The second condition gives. x−y=5.

Thus we get two equations

x−2y=3 .... (1)

x−y=5 .... (2)

now x= 5+ y (a)

substitute value of x in eqn (1)

5+y-2y=3

5- y =3

5-3= y

2= y

and

substitute y value in eqn( a )

x=5+2

x=7

hence the value of x and y is 2 and 7 ...
