Answer:

1) The  series of equations that can be used to find the numbers are

7·x + 3·y = 54...(1)

x = y + 2...(2)

2) The first number is 6

The second number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters for the numbers are;

7 times the first number + 3 times the 2nd number = 54

The first number = The 2nd number + 2

Let 'x' represent the first number and let 'y' represent the second number

The following series of equations can therefore be used in finding the numbers;

7·x + 3·y = 54...(1)

x = y + 2...(2)

2) By substituting the value of x = y + 2 from equation (2) into equation (1) gives;

7·x + 3·y = 54

∴ 7×(y + 2) + 3·y = 54

7·y + 14 + 3·y = 54

10·y + 14 = 54

10·y = 54 - 14 = 40

y = 40/10 = 4

The second number = y = 4

The first number, x = y + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

The first number, x = 6.

x = total amount of gumballs

let's start subtracting the balls she's giving away

\stackrel{total}{x}-\stackrel{\textit{to jaysen}}{\cfrac{x}{2}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{half of what's left to Marinda}}{\cfrac{~~ \frac{x}{2}~~}{2}\implies \cfrac{x}{4}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Marinda's}}{\cfrac{x}{2}-\cfrac{x}{4}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{4}}}~\hfill ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{a third of what's left to Zack}}{\cfrac{~~ \frac{x}{4}~~}{3}\implies \cfrac{x}{12}}

\stackrel{\textit{what was left minus Zack's}}{\cfrac{x}{4}-\cfrac{x}{12}\implies \stackrel{\textit{what's left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{her sister gets 5 balls of what's left}}{ \cfrac{x}{6}-5 }

and we also know that after all that has been subtracted, she's only left with 5, so we can say that

\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{\cfrac{x}{6}-5}~~ = ~~\stackrel{\textit{what's finally left}}{5}\implies \cfrac{x}{6}=10\implies \boxed{x = 60}
