So... let's say, we have two numbers "a" and "b",
"a" is the smaller one, "b" is the larger one
so, their sum is 6
a + b = 6
3 times the smaller => 3 * a or 3a
now, two less than that
3a - 2
that equals the larger "b"
3a - 2 = b
solve for "a",
now, what's "b"? well, 3a - 2 = b :)

1 yard = 36in
2 yard = 72in
72 / 1.5 = 48
After solving the equation we get y=2 when x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to complete the solution of the equation 
We need to find value of y when x equals -15
For finding value of y, we will put value of x= -15 in the given equation:



Adding -15 on both sides


Divide both sides by -8

So, After solving the equation we get y=2 when x = 15
