The larger number is five more than the smaller number. Four more than three times the smaller number is twice the larger number. Find both numbers.

Larger number = 11

Smaller number = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number = x

Let the smaller number = y

x - y = 5

3y + 4 = 2x       Subtract 2x

-2x + 3y + 4 = 0

Multiply  the first equation by 2. Write the second equation underneath

2x - 2y = 10

-2x + 3y + 4 = 0

add

y + 4 = 10  

Subtract from both sides

y = 10 - 4

y = 6

x - y = 5

x - 6 = 5                Add 6 to both sides

x = 5 + 6

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

x       ← the smaller number

x+5    ←  five more than the smaller number - the larger number

3x    ← three times the  smaller number

3x+4   ← four more than three times the  smaller number

2(x+5)   ← twice the larger number

3x + 4 = 2(x + 5)

3x + 4 = 2x + 10

   -4         -4

     3x = 2x + 6

  -2x       -2x

      x  =  6

x+5 = 6 + 5 = 11

Check:   3•6 + 4 = 22;  22:2 = 11

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
