Question 179043
The difference of two numbers is 67. The larger number is three less than six times the smaller number. Find the numbers.
----------------------------------
Equations:
x - y = 67
x = 6y - 3
---------------
Substitute to solve for "y":
6y-3 - y = 67
5y = 70
y = 14
--------------
Since x - y = 67, x - 14= 67; x = 81
