(Let x = greater number and y = lesser number)
So this question is asking us for a system of equations. Using the info they provide, we can form these two equations:

So for this, we will be using the substitution method. Since we know that x = y + 7, substitute x with (y + 7) in the second equation as such:

From here we can solve for y. Firstly, distribute 3 so that it multiplies with y and 7:

Next, subtract 3y on both sides of the equation:

Lastly, subtract 5 on both sides of the equation:

Now that we know the value of y, we can substitute it into either equation to solve for x:

<h2>Answer:</h2>
<u>In short, 16 is the lesser number and 23 is the greater number.</u>
First, we know (D is dad, J is Jill) that D+J=50.
Second, in 5 years D will be 3 times as old so
(D+5)= 3*(J+5)
Moving on, if we know D+J=50 then D=(50-J) is true.<span>Taking that relationship and substituting for D in the other equation, it becomes
50 - J + 5 = 3 * (J + 5)
Then, it becomes </span>50 - J + 5 = (3 * J) + (3 * 5)
Then, 55 - J = (3 * J) + 15
Then, 55 - 15 = (3 * J) + J
<span>which becomes 40 = 4*J</span>
Answer: i think is A or B
Step-by-step explanation:

3(d) and 3 (g)
d represents the price. so you multiply 3 by however much the has cost.
g represents the gallons and 3 represents the cost and again you multiply
