Let x = big number
Let y = small number
x + y = 66...Equation A
2y = x + 15...Equation B
We have two equations in two unknowns.
x + x + 15 = 66
2x = 66 - 15
2x = 54
x = 54/2
x = 27
Plug x = 27 into EITHER equation above to find y.
I will use Equation A.
x + y = 66
27 + y = 66
y = 66 - 27
y = 39
The two numbers are 27 and 39.

Answer:
<u></u>
Explanation:
The complete question is:
<em>Between the time iko woke up and lunchtime, the temperature rose by 11º. Then by the time he went to bed, the temperature dropped by 14º.</em>
<em />
<em>Write an addition expression for the temperature relative to when iko woke up. </em>
<em />
<h2>Solution</h2>
It is said that between the time Iko woke up and lunchtime, the temperature rose by 11 degrees. A rise means the temperature increased and you must add 11º.
Then, relative to when Iko woke up the temperature is:
Then, by the time Iko went to bed, the temperature dropped by 14º. A drop means that the change is negative. This means that you must add a negative number, and the additive expression is:
If you want the overall change in temperature you do the operation:
- 11 + (-14) = 11 - 14 = - 3. A net decrease of 3º.
But the answer to this question is the additive expression:
You take the amount paid and divide it by the amount of cheese. So 10.50 divided by 2.5 equals 4.2 and 12.60 divided by 3 equals 4.2 meaning that one pound of cheese costs $4.20
