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

Solve for the formula f=2gh. h=
Ksivusya [100]
First you have to look to see if you can isolate h. to do this you need to divide 2g on both sidesmaking the equation into f/2g=h. 
just an extra little fact, we divide the 2g because it was multiplied as 2gh, to move it to the other side you do the opposite to it, therefore it being division :)
