The difference of two numbers is 15. Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger. Find the numbers

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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t² + 14400

0= -16t² + 14400

(1/-16)×-14400=-16t²(1/-16)

900=t²

\sqrt{900} =\sqrt{t^{2}}

18+ (-30)<br> Integers help plssss
Neko [114]

Answer: -12

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we can first start by rewriting the problem. When we add a negative, that's exactly the same thing as subtracting so we can make the problem easier to understand.

18 + (-30) → 18 - 30

To find the answer to this problem, let's first find out how many jumps it get's to 0 from 18. It would take 18 jumps and there is 12 jumps left over. Then, we would subtract 12 from 0 and we would get -12 as our answer. Therefore, 18 + (-30) = -12.

I need help with elimination with substitution. The equations are 3x+4y=19 and 3x+6y=33
olganol [36]
For elimination, multiply one whole equation by negative one (-1), then add or subtract according to your signs. After that, it will be a one-step equation.

3x + 4y = 19          3x + 4y = 19             3x + 4y = 19          -2y = -14        y = 7
3x + 6y = 33     -1 (3x + 6y = 33)          -3x - 6y = -33          -14 / -2

Then you would go back and substitute the value of (y) back into either equation and then solve for the remaining variable (x). Finally, use both values to make an ordered pair.

3x + 4y = 19          3x = -9          x = -3          (-3 , 7)
3x + 4(7) = 19       (-9 / 3)
3x + 28 = 19          

Good Luck
