Y=5

Answer 2

Answer:smller number is5 and greater number is 20a

Step-by-step explanation:let the smaller number be y and larger number be x.

From 1st condition

x + y=25. ...........(1)

From 2nd condition

2x - 3y=25............(2)

Multiplying eq(1) by 2

2x +2y=50...........(3)

Subtracting eq(2) from eq(3)

2x+2y=50

-2x-3y=25

__________

y=5

Put y=5 in eq(1)

x+y=25

x+5=25

x=25-5

x=20

Smaller number=5

Larger number=20
