The sum of two positive integers is 12. When the smaller integer is subtracted from five times the larger, the result is 36. Find the two integers.

The smaller integer is 4 and larger integer is 8 .

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to form own variables and expression. So we let the smaller integer be x and the larger integer be y. Next using the information given to form expressions :

Lastly, we can solve the simultaneous equation using Elimination :

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
