Let the smaller integer = xNow, larger integer = 5x2Now, according to question :2×5x2 -22x = 12⇒5x - 4x = 12⇒x = 12So, smaller integer = 12larger integer = 52×12 = 30

. The larger of two integers is 5/2 the smaller. If twice the smaller is subtracted from twice the larger, the difference is 12.Find the two numbers
