Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2) let the two numbers be x and y

x-y =15

(taking x to be big)

x = 3 (y)+1

i.e. x-3y =1

Subtracting we get

2y =14 or y =7

x =15+7 =22

Larger number is 22 and smaller number is 7

Alysha is 2 years younger than Bryce/

Let Alysha be x years old then Bryce would be x+2

Sum of their ages

=x+x+2 =28

2x+2 =28

2x=26

x=13

Hence Alysha is 13 years old and Bryce 14 years old.
