he larger of the two numbers is 12 less than 5 times the smaller. If the smaller number is equal to one-third of the larger number, find the numbers.
------------------
Equations:
S = (1/3)L
L = 5S-12
--------------------
Note: L = 3S
-------------------
Substitute for "L" and solve for "S":
5S-12 = 3S
2S = 12
S = 6 (smaller)
L = 3S = 18 (larger)
