One number is 4 greater than another number. When three times the smaller number is added to twice the larger one, the result in 43. Find the numbers.
---
If x = y + 5, y must be the smaller number.
3y + 2x = 43
-----
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
3y + 2(y+5) = 43
3y + 2y + 10 = 43
5y = 33
y = 33/6
-------
Solve for "x":
x = y + 5
x = (33/6) + (30/6)
x = 63/6
