Answer:
Answer: 3 1/2 and -10 1/2 are the two numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the two unknown numbers.
x+y=-7 [Given]
x-y=14 [Given]
x-y=14 [Given]
x=y+14 [Add y to both sides]
x+y=-7 [Given]
(y+14)+y=-7 [Subtitution]
2y+14=-7 [Combine like terms]
2y=-21 [Subtract 14 from both sides]
y=-21/2 [Divide both sides by 2]
y=-10 1/2 [Division]
x-y=14 [Given]
x=y+14 [Add y to both sides]
x=-10 1/2 + 14 [Substitution]
x= 3 1/2 [Addition]
Check:
x+y=-7 [Given]
3 1/2 + -10 1/2?=-7 [Substition]
-7=-7 [Addition]
QED
x-y=14 [Given]
3 1/2 - -10 1/2?=14 [Substitution]
3 1/2 + 10 1/2?=14 [Change the sign of the subtrahend and add]
14=14 [Addition]

Answer: 3 1/2 and -10 1/2 are the two numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just pick a bunch of values of x, and use the formula to find the corresponding value of y.
For example
When x = 0, y = 0+5 = 5 ----> Plot the point (0,5) on graph paper
When x = 1, y = 1+5 = 6 ----> Plot the point (1,6) on graph paper
When x = 2, y = 2+5 = 7 ----> Plot the point (2,7) on graph paper
Then connect the dots to get a linear graph. You should get a graph that looks like the one attached.
Now Steve, you can tap these into your calculator one by one,
get all the quotients, and mark the ones that are 4.2, all in about
3 minutes.
There are three (3) of them in the list.
One of them is 'C'. 27.3 ÷ 6.5 = 4.2
Now pick up your calculator and find the other two. You can do it !
