Three less than five times the smaller is equal to the larger

Answer 1

5S-3 = L

L>S

Let L=S

5L-3=L

4L=3

L=3/4

5(3/4)-3 =3/4

15/4 -12/4 = 3/4

L>3/4, S >3/4

S=1, L=2

S=2, L=7

S=3, L=12

S=4, L= 17

S=5 L=22

if S= 3/4 or less, L is no longer Larger than the Smaller

both S and L are in the interval (3/4, infinity)
