Answer:

The larger number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

Given x + y = 22

   3x+ 5 = 2y - 4      →  3x - 2y = -9

Now solving the above two equations we get,

3x + 3y = 66

3x - 2y = -9

Subtracting, 5y = 75  → y = 15;  x = 7

The larger number is 15. (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so for number 1 you first have to group the like terms therefore you will now have:

9r-4r+8-6

and now you calculate:

9r-4r=5r

8-6=2

so that means 5r-2 is simplied version for no.1

for number you 2 you first multiply why is inside the brackets by what is in the outside:

2(x+3y)

2x+6y (simplified version)

hope this helps! no problem

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

For any x real number different from 0, we can write.

\dfrac{2y + x}{x} = 2y\\\\2y+x=2xy\\\\2xy-x=(2y-1)x=2y\\\\x=\dfrac{2y}{2y-1}

And this is defined for 2y-1 different from 0, meaning y different from 1/2

Thank you.
