One number= x =larger number
2nd number= y =smaller number
"One number is 7 greater than a 2nd number.Twice the larger number added to three times the smaller is 114."
x=7%2By
2x%2B3y=114 substitute and solve
2%287%2By%29%2B3y=114
%2814%2B2y%29%2B3y=114
14%2B5y=114
5y=100
highlight%28y=20%29
x=7%2By
x=7%2B20
highlight%28x=27%29
