Only information they give you is the prices unless i'm missing something.
X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60
4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20
x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5
The x - intercept of 5x - 3y = 15 is (3, 0)
The y -intercept of 5x - 3y = 15 is (0, -5)
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given equation is 5x - 3y = 15
<em><u>To find: x - intercept and y -intercept</u></em>
The x intercept is the point where the line crosses the x axis. At this point y = 0
The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis. At this point x = 0.
<em><u>Finding x - intercept:</u></em>
To find the x intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the y variable and solve for x
So put y = 0 in given equation
5x - 3(0) = 15
5x = 15
x = 3
So the x - intercept is (3, 0)
<em><u>Finding y - intercept:</u></em>
To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y
So put x = 0 in given equation
5(0) - 3y = 15
-3y = 15
y = -5
So the y - intercept is (0, -5)
Divide both 6 and 10 by 2 to get 3/5
Multiply both 6 and 10 by 2 to get 12/20
