So this "327,000,000,000" needs to be converted into scientific notation, in which the answer that I will get would be 3.27 10^11, in calculation (as in calculator), you will get 3.27E+11.
Hope this helped!

ANSWER
The smaller number is 7.
EXPLANATION
Let the numbers be x and y.
Then we have;
y-3x=3... eqn (1)
If the sum of the numbers is 3 then,
y+x=31... eqn (2)
Eqn(2) - Eqn (1)
x--3x=31-3

Divide both sides by 4,

We put x=7 into the second equation,
y+7=31
y=31-7
y=24
The smaller of the two numbers is 7.
<span>Simplifying
9e + -7 = 7e + -11
Reorder the terms:
-7 + 9e = 7e + -11
Reorder the terms:
-7 + 9e = -11 + 7e
Solving
-7 + 9e = -11 + 7e
Solving for variable 'e'.
Move all terms containing e to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7e' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 9e + -7e = -11 + 7e + -7e
Combine like terms: 9e + -7e = 2e
-7 + 2e = -11 + 7e + -7e
Combine like terms: 7e + -7e = 0
-7 + 2e = -11 + 0
-7 + 2e = -11
Add '7' to each side of the equation.
</span><span>Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + 2e = -11 + 7
2e = -11 + 7
</span><span>Combine like terms: -11 + 7 = -4
2e = -4
Divide each side by '2'.
e = -2
Simplifying
e = -2</span>
