Hi!
The answer to this problem is <em>x</em>=5
<h2>
Greetings!</h2>
If x = the first number (equal to 1x) then the second number is 75% more than this.
This means the value of the bigger number is 100 + 75 (because 100 is the starting number and 75 is the percent bigger)
This can be shown with the following equation:
Amount * 
x *
= 1.75x
1.75x is the value of the bigger number.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - 5y = 15....... (1)
x=y+3..........(2)
Putting (2) in (1)
6(y + 3) - 5y = 15
6y + 18 - 5y = 15
6y - 5y = 15 - 18
y = -3
And x = y + 3
x = -3 + 3
x = 0
