<h2>Steps:</h2>
(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>
Answer:
4 :)
Step-by-step explanation:
So our original equations would be..


(a) perimeter in terms of y

(b) area in terms of y
*I'm actually not sure about b.. sorry*
(c) if perimeter = 28, find length


Answer:
there would be 40 gold notebooks
Step-by-step explanation:
if the ratio is 5g to 3r i took the 24 red and divided it by 3 which gave me 8. I then multiplied 8 by 5 and got 40. so 40:24 is equal to 5:3
Since vertical angles are congruent, (4x+7)=5(x-4). So simplifying we get 4x+7=5x-20. If we add 20 on both sides we get 4x+27=5x. Now when we subtract x from both sides, we get x=27
