Sum of 2 numbers is 36. The larger is 3 more than twice the smaller number, Find the smaller number below.

11

Step-by-step explanation:

so we just make a system of equations:

x+y=36

say that x is the larger and y is the smaller

x-3=2y

so we can combine the equations and solve for x and y

re-arrange x-3=2y to be x=2y+3

x+y=36

x=2y+3

insert the value for x into x into x+y=36

2y+3+y=36

3y+3=36

y=11

now insert that back into x+y=36

11+x=36

x=25

Out of the two numbers x and y, 11 is the smaller number

Hope that helps :)

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
