Let the larger number be x
The smaller number would be x-3

(x-3)+x=67
2x-3=67
2x=67-3
2x=64
x=64/2
x=32

Therefore the larger number is 32 and the smaller is (32)-3= 29

Hope I helped :)

I need help with the steps. The answer is (5,2)

Elden [556K]

So with this, I will be using the substitution method. With the first equation, substitute (y+3) into the x variable and solve for y:

$y+3+y=7\\2y+3=7\\2y=4\\y=2$

Next, now that we have the value of y, substitute it into either equation to solve for x:

$x+2=7\\x=5\\\\x=2+3\\x=5$

<u>And this is how you get your final answer (5,2).</u>

Solve each inequality. I need help please.

You just need to divide to get to 1n. -3n = 84
So the answer is 84/ -3 = -28. n= -28
