Answer:

l = g - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

The difference between the 2 numbers is 3.

G represents the greater number.

The equation will include a minus sign, as l (the smaller number) is less than g.

We know the difference is 3, so the equation is l = g - 3.

The second of two numbers is 8 less than twice the first number, what are the two numbers?

Mashutka [201]

So the two numbers can be represented as x and y

so x is first and y is second

y=2(x)-8

so y=2x-8

IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)
