I NEED TO SET UP AN EQUATION FOR THIS WORD PROBLEM:
THE SUM OF TWO NUMBERS IS 18. THREE TIMES THE GREATER NUMBER EXCEEDS FOUR TIMES THE SMALLER NUMBER BY 5. FIND THE NUMBERS.

• 7, 11
  If greater number=x, smaller number=y, then
  x+y= 18 ----(i) &
  3x-4y =5 ----(ii)
  On solving (i) & (ii), x=11, y=7
