Hi there!

In order to solve this problem, we should first write this into expressions.

Let x = the bigger number
Let y = the smaller number

x + y = 37
x = 3y + 5

Now, we can use substitution of the system ofinequalities to solve.

We substitute the value of x into the equation.

3y + 5 + y = 37

Now, we simplify.

4y + 5 = 37
4y = 32
y = 8

So, 8 is the answer.

Hope this helps!
