X+y=23
X-y=7.4

X+y=23
y=23-X

X-y=7.4
(23-y)-y=7.4
23-2y=7.4
-2y=-15.6
Y=7.8

X+y=23
X+7.8=23
X=15.2

Therefore the two numbers are 7.8 & 15.2

Solve for y- 6y-1.5x=8

VARVARA [1.3K]

$6y-1.5x=8\qquad\text{add 1.5x to both sides}\\\\6y=1.5x+8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\y=\dfrac{1.5}{6}x+\dfrac{8}{6}\\\\y=\dfrac{15}{60}x+\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{4}{3}}$
