Let,
the bigger number  be "x"
the smaller number be "y"
Now, according to the question,
x + y = 24...........equation (1).............because the sum of numbers is 24
x - y = 15 .............equation (2)..................because their difference is 15

Taking equation (2),
x - y = 15
x = 15 + y ....................equation (3)

Now, Taking equation (1)
x + y = 24
(Substituting the value of "x" form equation (3) we get)
15 + y + y = 24
(Subtracting 15 on both sides, we get)
y + y = 24 - 15
2y = 9
y = 9 / 2
y = 4.5
Now, 
Taking equation (3)
x = 15 + y
(Substituting the value of y , we get)
x = 15 + 4.5
x = 19.5

So, the two numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

Use the given graph to determine the limit, if it exists.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
As x approaches 3 from the right, the limit is 3.  There is a closed hole up there AT x=3 y=7, but we don't care about what happens AT x=3, only what happens as x APPROACHES 3.

1. What is the equation of a line that has a slope of ⅔ and a y-intercept of -3?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

1. y = (⅔)x - 3

2. y = 3x + c

3. 1) non-proportional

2) can be proportional if c = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What is the equation of a line that has a slope of ⅔ and a y-intercept of -3?

y = (⅔)x - 3

2. What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 3?

y = 3x + c

3. Lable the 2 equations as proportional or non-proportional and why.

A proportional relation should pass through the origin, i.e the y-intercept should be 0
