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

Hope this helps ;p have a nice day!

It would be much easier for me to help you pick the correct equation
if you would let me see the list of choices.
Since I can't see any of the choices, I'll just make up a few equations
that have the ordered pair (24, 6) as a solution:
Y = 0.25 x
Y = x - 18
Y = 0.5 x - 6
Y = 0.1 x + 3.6
Answer:
D. 10x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 2x + 5x
g(x) = 3x - 5
(f + g)(x) is f(x) + g(x)
<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>
f(x) = 7x
g(x) = 3x - 5
<u>Step 3: Find</u>
- Substitute: (f + g)(x) = 7x + (3x - 5)
- Combine like terms: (f + g)(x) = 10x - 5
