Let x represent the larger number.
Let y represent the smaller number.
x-y=4 Given
3x=5y-2 Given
Now we can just substitute; let x=4+y
Substitute 4+y for x in the second equation:
3(4+y)=5y-2
12+3y=5y-2
-2y=-14
y=7
Substitute back (into BOTH equations to double check work).
x, the larger number, is 11
Answer:
y=8.50x+0.25

Answer:
a = 30
2a = 60
3a = 90
Step-by-step explanation:
3a + 2a + a = 180 ( Sum of angles of a triangle is 180)
6a = 180
a = 180/6
a = 30
2a = 2 x 30 =60
3a = 3 x 30 = 90
