The sum of two numbers is $30$. If we double the larger number, and subtract three times the smaller number, the result is 5. What is the positive difference between the two numbers?

Step-by-step explanation:

is the larger number.

is the smaller number.

It becomes a simultaneous equation.

Let's solve for :

Let's solve for :

Find out the positive difference between the two numbers.

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5

step-by-step explanation:

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
