Answer:x=53/6 and y=-55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number x

Second number b y

Sum of the numbers x+y=-1/3

x-y=18

Solve simultaneously

Using elimination method

We get

2y=-55/3

y=-55/6

Substitute for y in equation 1

x+55/6=18

x=18-55/6

x=53/6

Ian walks down a sloped path. After 6 minutes, he is 3 m above street level. Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the l

Georgia [21]

Answer:

y=-2/3x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know the path is parallel to the equation y+-2/3x+12, you already know the slope is -2/3.

It says y is the height above street level, so that is 3. The problem says x is time, which is 6, so all you have to solve for is the y intercept.

3 (y, or the height above street level) = (-2/3) 6 (x, or time) + b (unknown y intercept)

3 = -4 + b

7 = b

So, y = -2/3x + 7

Rewrite subtraction as an equivalent addition expression. 5(x – 4) + 3x – 9x + 7

iogann1982 [59]

Hello!

Explanation:

Distributive property: → a(b+c)=ab+ac

Expand the form equation.

$5(x-4)=5x-20$

$5x-20+3x-9x+7$

Then, simplify by equation or expand.

$5x-20+3x-9x+7=-x-13$

Final answer is: → $\boxed{=-x-13}$

*The answer must have a negative sign.*

Hope this helps!

Thank you :)

Have a great day! :)
