Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
A number is 5 more than 3 times another number. The sum of the two numbers is 33. As an equation, this is written [tex]x + 3x + 5 = 33[/tex], where [tex]x[/tex] represents the smaller number. Plug in the numbers from the set [tex]\{3, 5, 7, 9\}[/tex] to find the value of [tex]x[/tex].
The value of [tex]x[/tex] that holds true for the equation is [tex]\square[/tex]. So, the smaller number is [tex]\square[/tex] and the larger number is [tex]\square[/tex].
