Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One number is 5 more than another number. Three times the first plus twice the second is 30.Find the numbers.

x = first number

y = second number

x=y+5

3x +2y = 30

lets substitute x=y+5 in the second equation for x;

3(y+5) + 2y =30

3y + 15 + 2y = 30

5y + 15 =30

5y = 30 -15

5y = 15

y = 3

Now that we have y lets plug that answer into either equation for y;

x = 3 + 5

x = 8

:) if I’m wrong I’m very sorry.
