Question

1. The difference of two numbers is 3, and the sum of three times the larger one and

Answer 1

Answer: 25 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since one number is 3 bigger than the other, we can call them x, and x-3.

Then we know that the sum of 3 times x and 2 times (x-3) is equal to 19, so we can make the equation

3x+2(x-3)=19

Simplifying would get you

3x+2x-6=19

adding the x's and adding six to both sides of the equations gets you

5x = 25

divide by 5 and

x=5

Put those numbers back into your previous labels for them, x and x-3, and you get 5 and 2

Hope this helps
