the difference of two numbers is 5. the sum of three times the larger number and twice the smaller number is 30. what is the smaller number

smallest number=3

Step-by-step explanation:

let the  numbers be x & y and x>y

x-y=5

multiply by 2

2x-2y=10

and 3x+2y=30

adding

5x=40

x=40/5=8

8-y=5

y=8-5=3

none.

step-by-step explanation:

compare the slopes

,

m

=

0

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.

m1=5,m2=0
