The greater of to numbers is 1 more than twice the smaller. 3 times the greater number exceeds 5 times the smaller by 10. I just need the equation THANKS

y is greater number x is lesser number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2x + 1 (first statement)

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

Let the smaller number be x and greater be y Now y=2x+1 3y=5x+10

OpenStudy (ujjwal):
