Two positive numbers have a difference of 8. The larger number is three more than twice the smaller. Find the two numbers.

  5 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 2x+3, and the difference is ...

  (2x+3) -(x) = 8

  x = 5

The two numbers are 5 and 13.

Check

Twice the smaller number is 10. 3 more than that is 13, the larger number. Their difference is 13 -5 = 8.

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
