Question 636932: The difference of two numbers is -32. The sum of three times the smaller number and twice the larger is 134. What are the two numbers

Let s be the smaller the two numbers and let l be the larger of the two numbers. Then:
s-l=-32
3s+2l=134
From the first equation we get
s=l-32 So:
3(l-32)+2l=134
3l-96+2l=134
5l=230
l=46
So s=l-32=46-32=14
