I would set this up as:
let: lesser number = x
greater number = 2x + 5
Restating the word problem:
lesser number + greater number = 38
x + 2x + 5 = 38
Solving: 3x + 5 = 38
- 5 -5
---------------
3x = 33

3 3
x = 11
Substitution for the greater number:
2(11) + 5
22 + 5
27

Answer:
36hr 16min
Step-by-step explanation:
1pool/17hr - 1pool/32hr = 1 pool/xhr
1/17 - 1/32 = 1/x
Use common denomminator of 17*32 = 544
32/544 - 17/544 = 1/x
15/544 = 1/x
x = 544/15
x = 36 4/15 hr
x = 36hr 16min
Multiply everything by 2 then combine like terms
