Answer:
8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use x for the first number, and y for the second, you get equations of 3x+5y=54 and x-2=y.
You can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve it. This gives 3x+5(x-2)=54.
The brackets can be expanded to 3x+5x-10=54. Collecting like terms makes it 8x-10=54.
Next, we add 10 to both sides. This gives 8x=64.
From there, we isolate the x by dividing both sides by 8, giving x=8.
To work out the second number, we can sub 8 for x in either equation (I'm using the second one as it's simpler).
This comes to y=8-2, therefore y=6.

10/10 you look pretty! Anyone looks pretty have a wonderful day!
1. The slope is -2/5 not 3-/10
Answer and explanation:
1. 2 × 3/10 = 6/10 = 3/5
2. 8 × 4/8 = 32/8 = 4
3. 9 × 3/9 = 27/9 = 3
4. 12 × 2/11 = 24/11 = 2 2/11
5. 3 × 5/7 = 15/7 = 2 1/7
6. 2 × 3/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5
7. 11 × 4/8 = 44/8 = 5 4/8 = 5 1/2
8. 10 × 1/4 = 10/4 = 2 2/4 = 2 1/2
9. 5 × 1/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
10. 11 × 2/7 = 22/7 = 3 1/7
Hope this helps!
