One number is 5 more than another number. Three times the first plus twice the second is 30.Find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "x = first number
\n" ); document.write( "y = second number
\n" ); document.write( "x=y+5
\n" ); document.write( "3x +2y = 30
\n" ); document.write( "lets substitute x=y+5 in the second equation for x;
\n" ); document.write( "3(y+5) + 2y =30
\n" ); document.write( "3y + 15 + 2y = 30
\n" ); document.write( "5y + 15 =30
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 30 -15
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 15
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Now that we have y lets plug that answer into either equation for y;
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( ":) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
