Question 926345: The larger of two numbers is equal to three times the smaller number, the smaller number is equal to the larger number decreased by 30. find the numbers Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = larger number
y = smaller number
---
x = 3y
y = x - 30
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - 3y = 0
x - y = 30
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
