Answer:
x = 16
y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number = x
Let the smaller number = y
x - y = 5
x = 2*y - 6
Put the second equation into the first. Substitute for x
2y - 6 - y = 5
combine
y - 6 = 5
and 6 to both sides.
y - 6 + 6 = 5 + 6
Combine
y = 11
=======================
Find x
x - y = 5 Substitute for y
x - 11 = 5 Add 11 to both sides.
x - 11+11=5+11
x = 16
