One (the first) number is five less than a second number. Three times the first is 12 more than 6 times the second. Find the numbers.

Second number = N First number = five less than the second number = N-5 (take 5 away) Three times the first = 3(N-5) 6 times the second = 6N 12 more than 6 times the second = 6N+12 (add 12) Edwin
