Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Two numbers are 9 and 14.Step-by-step explanation:Let larger number is 'a' and smaller number is 'b'.Given one number is 5 bigger than the other. ⇒ a = b+5.and also given (3×a)+(2×b) = 60.⇒(3×(b+5))+(2×b) = 60⇒(5×b)+15 = 60⇒5×b = 45⇒b = 9 ⇒a = b+5 = 9+5 = 14.∴ Larger number is 14 and smaller number is 9
