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

Plan G is paid £14,000 for a concert. If the money made is split at 2:5 between Plan G and the arena. How much money did the are
77julia77 [94]
From the given ratio, we can get the percentages of the money that Plan G and the arena gets.
              Plan G percentage = (2/(2 + 5)) x 100% = 28.57%
                  Arena percentage  = (5/(2 + 5)) x 100% = 71.43%
We then multiply the amount they get by the decimal equivalent of the percentage of the arena.
                      Amount for arena = (£14,000) x (0.7143) = £10,000.2

spin [16.1K]

The distance between A and B is d = |B - A|

We have d = 3 and A = 12.

Substitute:

|B-12|=3\iffB-12=3\ \vee\ B-12=-3\qquad|\text{add 12 to both sides}\\\\B=15\ \vee\ B=9

The sum of two numbers is 38. Their difference is 50. What are the numbers?<br><br> 20 POINTS
enot [183]
Let, the numbers = x,y
Now, x + y = 38
x - y = 50, x = 50 + y

Substitute it into first equation,
50 + y + y = 38
2y = 38 - 50
y = -12 / 2
y = -6

Substitute it into first equation,
x - 6 = 38
x = 38 + 6 = 44

So, your final answer is x = 44 & y = -6

Hope this helps!

Saving money is essential to living life. Everything costs money. Even this wifi? Not free. The device you asked this on? Not free. Saving money is important but why won't people do it? They think its hard, but it's actually easy. Step one, save one cent today, two cents tomorrow, three cents the next day...etc. That leaves you with 365 in the bank if I did the calculations right. Another way you can save is by setting a budget. Pretty easy, but you have to control what you buy and understand that buying this or that could prevent you from buying something else. The last one? Get a job. Preferably a one that gets you a higher pay without actually needing a degree, like a warehouse worker or a waiter.
These methods help you in the best way possible to save money. Good luck!
