<PRE><B>Question 1091489</B>
one number is 25 greater than a second number.
a = b + 25
 If the number is subtracted 3 times the greater number, the difference is 195.
3a - b = 195
 Find the numbers 
replace a with (b+25) from the first statement
3(b+25) - b = 195
3b + 75 - b = 195
3b - b = 195 - 75
2b = 120
b = 120/2
b = 60 
:
:
Confirm this, find a
a = 60 + 25
a = 85
Check this in the statement
&quot;the number is subtracted 3 times the greater number, the difference is 195. &quot;
3(85) - 60 = 
255 - 60 = 195  </PRE>
