The difference between two numbers is 15.Went twice the smaller number is subtracted from three times the?

large number,the difference is 58.what is the larger number?The difference between two numbers is 15.Went twice the smaller number is subtracted from three times the?
Sounds like gr 10 or 11 algebra, im in gr 9 and im doing that right now.





so you have:





a+15=b


3b-58=2a





i couldn't really get any farther, but maybe that helps you?The difference between two numbers is 15.Went twice the smaller number is subtracted from three times the?
Two numbers, x and y with x%26gt;y. The problem statement says x-y = 15


and 3x - 2y = 58.





So you've got two equations in two unknowns,





x-y = 15 and


3x-2y = 58





Solve the first equation for x in terms of y (or y in terms of x, it doesn't matter which) and substitute that expression for the value of x into the second equation for x and solve for the numeric value of y. Substitute the numeric value of y in the first equation and solve for the numeric value of x.
