The difference of two integers is thirty. the larger integer is two more than five times the smaller integer. find the integers

X=2+5y
x-y=30

basically, all you're doing here is solving a system of equations. use the second equation to find out what x or y means. i'm going to solve it for x.

this is the new equation : x=30+y

now i plug this equation into the first one.

30+y=2+5y

30=2+5y-y
30=2+4y
28=4y
y=7

now that you know what y is, take that second equation we did in the beginning and plug in y.

x-7=30

solve for x

x=37

the two integers are 37 and 7.

If you make it a little more clear i can answer it

The answer would be a
