Question 1033794: The difference between two numbers is 5. The smaller number is r, whats the larger number?
Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Just choose a simple number and see how it behaves...
Let's say your smaller number is 3. If the difference between them is 5, then the larger must be 3+5 or 8.
Let's say your smaller number is 7. If the difference between them is 5, then the larger must be 7+5 or 12.
In fact no matter what your smaller number is, you're going to add five...
So...if the smaller number is r, then the larger must be r + 5.
