Answer:

Smaller number = x

Bigger number = x +32

Why? -- the difference of the numbers is 32, this also means that one number is 32 greater than the other.

x + x+32 = 136

2x +32 = 136

2x = 104

x = 104/2

x = 52

----> The smaller number is 52  <-----

We can check by solving for the bigger number.

Bigger number = x+32

x = 52

52 + 32 = 84

Bigger number = 84

Bigger number + Smaller number = 136

84 + 52 = 136

3. Sophie and Jackie each have a collection of baseball cards, Jackie has 5 more cards than
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Sophie has 12.5 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> number of cards Sophie has

y -----> number of cards Jackie has

we know that

x+y=30 -----> equation A  

y=x+5 -----> equation B

Solve by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

x+(x+5)=30

2x=30-5

x=12.5 cards

Note I assume the problem was invented without taking into account the result, because the amount of cards should be a whole number
