Answer:

The Answer is: The first number is 15 and the second one is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f = first number and s = second number

The difference between the two is 8:

f - s = 8

f = 8 + s

Twice the first number plus three times the second number is 51:

2f + 3s = 51

Substitute:

2(8 + s) + 3s = 51

16 + 2s + 3s = 51

16 + 5s = 51

5s = 51 - 16

5s = 35

s = 7, the second number

Find f:

f = 8 + 7 = 15, the first number

Proof:

f - s = 8

15 - 7 = 8

8 = 8

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

What is an equation for the line that passes through (-2,-3) with a slope of -1/2?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line use the point slope form of a line substituting m = -1/2 and the point (-2,-3).

y -y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y --3=-\frac{1}{2}(x--2)\\y+3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+2)

Convert to standard form by applying the distributive property and rearranging the terms.

y + 3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x+2)\\y+3 = -\frac{1}{2}x -1\\2y + 6 = -x -2\\x+2y + 6 = -2\\x + 2y = -8

The equation x +2y = -8 is the same equation as 4y + 2x = -16 just doubled----> 2x + 4y = -16
