Answer:

x= -13

y= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:

x-y=15

5x=2y-9

Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.

x=15+y into 5x=2y-9

becomes

5(15+y) = 2y-9

75+5y = 2y- 9

75+3y= -9

3y = -84

y= -28

To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.

x - (-28) = 15

x+28 =15

x = 15-28

x=-13

Which Iink between two elements could you remove from the relation so that becomes a function?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Either (3,b) or (3,e) must be removed to form the above relation to be function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relation between the elements of domain and range. we have to remove the link between two elements so that relation becomes a function.

A function is a relation in which each element in domain set maps into only one element of range set i.e one element can never have two images in range set.

Here, the element 3 in domain set maps into two element b and e in range set. Therefore, to form a function one link must be removed either

f(3)=b or f(3)=e

Hence, either (3,b) or (3,e) must be removed to form the above relation to be function.
