Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The difference of two numbers is 15."

x-y = 15

x>y

"Five times the smaller number is the same as 9 less than twice the larger number."

5y = 2x-9

y = x-15

substitution

5(x-15) = 2x-9

5x-75 = 2x-9

3x = 66

x = 22

y = x-15 = 7

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Solution

Provided :-

• I have $138

• I save $12 per week

• Friend have $ 98

• He saves $17 per week

Let the number of weeks required to have same balance be x

→ 138 + 12x = 98 + 17x

→ 138 - 98 = 17x - 12x

→ 40 = 5x

→ x = 8

So we need 8 weeks
