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

lianna [129]
322kmh x1000= 322,000 meters per hour
That is the relationship between km and m
Because we are turning bigger units into smaller we the number will increase.
