Answer:

Smaller number = 4

Larger number = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Larger number = 4x - 3

Sum of the numbers = 17

x + 4x -3 =  17   {Combine like terms}

   5x - 3 = 17    {add 3 to boht sides}

        5x = 17 + 3

        5x = 20      {Divide both sides by 5}

          x = 20/5

         x = 4

      Larger number = 4x - 3

                               = 4*4 -3

                                = 16 - 3

                                = 13

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to eliminate, the numbers must eliminate. If the second equation is multiplied by 3, then the 3 and the -3 can be eliminated. Since it is multiple choice, we can plug in x = 12 and y = 10 to see if they are correct. 12 + 30 = 42 and 24 - 10 = 14, so D is correct.
