Carla = 5 years old
Jim = 2 years old
Peter = 15 years old
(Peter was 14 years old one year ago)
5+2=7
7x2=14 (14 is the age from one year ago meaning 15 is the current age)
15-2=13

The sum of two numbers is 30. The difference of twice the larger number and three times the smaller number is 5. What is the pos
natali 33 [55]
Let’s give these two numbers variables
Let ‘a’ be the larger number
Let ‘b’ be the smaller number

Now from the question we know:
a + b = 30 or a = 30 - b
2a - 3b = 5

Now, let’s plug the first equation into the second to find ‘b’:

2(30 - b) - 3b = 5
60 - 2b - 3b = 5
60 - 5b = 5
55 = 5b
b = 11

Now we solve for ‘a’:
a = 30 - b
a = 30 - 11
a = 19

Now the question asks for the positive difference between the two numbers, so:
a - b = ?
19 - 11 = 8

Hope this helps!
