2 equations:  the first one is the sum of 2 unknown numbers x and y: x + y = 72. Now the difference is 25, so x - y = 25. Solve the first equation for y: y = 72 - x. Sub that into the second equation to solve for x: x - (72 - x) = 25. x - 72 + x = 25 and 2x - 72 = 25.  Therefore, 2x = 97 and x = 48.5  That's the larger of the 2 numbers; since we subtracted y from x we defined x as the larger of the 2.  Just for fun, plug x in to find that y = 23.5

Which is an equation for the line with a slope of 1/3, and passes through<br> the point (–2, 1)?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x +5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line is

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

Since the slope is 1/3 we have

y = (1/3)x +b

since the line passes through (x,y) = (-2,1) this point satisfies the equation

1 = (1/3)(-2) + b ===> b = 1+2/3 ===> b = 5/3

and the equation of the line is

y = (1/3)x +5/3
