Question 927400: the larger of two integers is five halves the smaller. if twice the smaller is subtracted from twice the larger the difference is 12. find the two integers.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = larger integer
y = smaller integer
---
x = (5/2)y
2x - 2y = 12
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - 2.5y = 0
2x - 2y = 12
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
