Answer:
x = 71 and y = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x + y = 90 → (1)
x = 14 + 3y → (2)
Substitute x = 14 + 3y into (1)
14 + 3y + y = 90 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
4y = 76 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 19
Substitute y = 19 into (1) for value of x
x + 19 = 90 ( subtract 19 from both sides )
x = 71
Larger number x = 71 ; Smaller number y = 19
