Let the smaller number be x
Let the larger number be y
Form the equations:
4 times the smaller one is less than 3 times the larger one by 5
⇒ 3y - 4x = 5
The sum of the numbers is larger than 5 times their difference by 22
⇒ (y + x) - 5(y - x) = 22
⇒ y + x - 5y + 5x = 22
⇒ 6x - 4y = 22
⇒ 3x - 2y = 11
Putting the 2 equations together:
3y - 4x = 5 ------------------- [ 1 ]
3x - 2y = 11 ------------------- [ 2 ]
[ 1 ] x 2 : 6y - 8x = 10
[ 2 ] x 3 : 9x - 6y = 33
Find x:
[ 1 ] + [ 2 ] : x = 43
FInd y:
3y - 4x = 5
3y - 4(43) = 5
3y - 172 = 5
3y = 177
y = 177 ÷ 3 = 59
Answer: The bigger number is 59 and the smaller number is 43
