Answer 2

he larger of the two numbers is 12 less than 5 times the smaller. If the smaller number is equal to one-third of the larger number, find the numbers.

------------------

Equations:

S = (1/3)L

L = 5S-12

--------------------

Note: L = 3S

-------------------

Substitute for "L" and solve for "S":

5S-12 = 3S

2S = 12

S = 6 (smaller)

L = 3S = 18 (larger)
