Answer:
x=24
y=36
Step-by-step explanation:
x=smaller number
y=larger number
x+12=y x/2=y/3
x/2=(x+12)/3
cross multiply and distribute
3x=2x+24
x=24
24+12=y
y=36
Answer 2/5. It says there are 5 people and 3 of them have done their hw and 2 have not cause 5-3=2.
8 + 7 = 15, so 6 + 9 = 15
Answer:
77 < answer
Step-by-step explanation:
I would use elimination. I would multiply 4x+3y=2 by 3 so the it becomes 12x+9y=6, and I would multiply the bottom equation by 4 so that it becomes 12x+8y=4. Because I am using elimination I have to get rid of one variable, I chose to get rid of X hence that the coefficient of X in each equation is now 12. i simply subtract both equations and get y by itself. y=2. I plug in Y to find x in either of the original equations, where I get x=-1. To check my work substitute the values of x and y in the other equation. 4(-1)+3(2)=2 -------> 2=2
