Answer:

Larger number = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Larger number = 5x + 3

Sum of two integers = 51

x + 5x + 3 = 51    

       6x + 3 = 51

             6x = 51-3

             6x = 48

               x = 48/6

                x = 8

Larger number = 5x + 3

                         = 5*8 + 3

                          = 40 + 3

                         = 43
