Let
x--------->  the larger number
y---------> the smaller number

we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2

substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5

the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5

Answer: 18 animals

Step-by-step explanation:

3 out of 20 pet owners get their pet from a breeder.

To find how many animals have been bought from a breeder, you need to find 3/20 of the 122 animals.

3/20 = 0.15

122 * 0.15 = 18.3

18.3 rounds down to 18

There are 18 animals who have been bought from a breeder.
