Let 1st number be = x
Thus second number = x - 4

Now

(x) + (x - 4) = 72
2x - 4 = 72
2x = 76
x = 38

1st number is 38 thus 2nd number is (38 - 4) = 34

What is the equation of the line?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

y=2x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the choices are in slope-intercept, or y=mx+b form where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Therefore if the slope is 2, and the y intercept is 8 the equation should be y=2x+8.

What's 2x+3y=6 and x-3y=9?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Set up a system of equations:

2x+3y=6
x-3y=9

You can solve this with elimination by adding the two equations together:

3x+0y = 15
3x=15
x=5

Then, plug this value back into either of the original equations to find the y value:

5-3y=9
-3y=4
y= -4/3

The point of intersection is (5,-4/3)
