Twice a number added to a smaller number is 5. The difference of 5 times the smaller number and the larger number is 3. Let x represent the smaller number and y

Question

please help it is timed!! :))

Answer 1

2y + x = 5

5x - y = 3

y = 5x - 3

2(5x - 3) + x = 5

10x - 6 + x = 5

11x = 11

x = 1

y = 5(1) - 3

y = 2
