Question 935486: the sum of two numbers is 89. If three times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 17. find the two numbers Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = larger number
y = smaller number
---
x + y = 89
x - 3y = 17
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 89
x - 3y = 17
---
