The larger number is 30.
Set up your equation.
x + y = 25
The question tells us one number is 5 less than the other.
The equation now becomes
x -5 = 25
Add 5 to each side to isolate x.
x=30

Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Write 10% as a decimal then divide 3 by 0.1 (10% as a decimal)
hope this is good owo
0.10r + 0.20b = 24
3r = b + 20....b = 3r - 20
0.10r + 0.20(3r - 20) = 24
0.10r + 0.60r - 4 = 24
0.70r = 24 + 4
0.70r = 28
r = 28/0.70
r = 40 <=== there are 40 reds
0.10r + 0.20b = 24
0.10(40) + 0.20b = 24
4 + 0.20b = 24
0.20b = 24 - 4
0.20b = 20
b = 20/0.20
b = 100 <=== there are 100 blues
The answer is always negative because if you multiply like signs, the answer is positive, unlike signs are always negative
