    G = 1 + 2 S 
3 G - 10 = 5 S
3 ( 1 + 2 S ) - 10 = 5 S
3 + 6 S - 10 = 5 S
6 S - 5 S = 10 - 3
S = 7
G = 1 + 2 S
G = 1 + 2 7
G = 1 + 14
G = 15
G = greater number
S = smaller number
    
3 G - 10 = 5 S
3 ( 1 + 2 S ) - 10 = 5 S
3 + 6 S - 10 = 5 S
6 S - 5 S = 10 - 3
S = 7
G = 1 + 2 S
G = 1 + 2 7
G = 1 + 14
G = 15
G = greater number
S = smaller number
