<span>x = first number
64 - x = second number {sum of two numbers is 64}
2x = 64 - x - 10 {twice smaller is ten less than larger}
2x = 54 - x {combine like terms}
3x = 54
x = 18
64 - x = 46 {substituted 18 for x}

the two numbers are 18 and 46</span>

Raphael graphed the system of equations shown. y = – 3 y = x – 0.8 What is the best approximation for the solution to this syste

Ber [7]

Given ---›

y = -3

&

y = x - 0.8

So,
=> x = y + 0.8

=> x = -3 + 0.8

=> x = -2.2

Therefore, the best approximation for the solution to this system of equations is = (–2.2, –3)
