Answer:

Numbers are 14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

Write 2 equations:

x + y = 22

x - y = 6

Solve by substitution:

x - y = 6

x = y + 6

Plug into the other equation:

(y + 6) + y = 22

2y + 6 = 22

2y = 16

y = 8

Plug into either equation:

x + 8 = 22

x = 14

Numbers are 14 and 8

Answer:

14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 22-x (x+22-x=22)

22-x-x=6

22-2x=6

22-6=2x

16=2x

x=8

22-8=14

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This blue line seems to be horizontal, and so a line perpendicular would have to be vertical. The only vertical line that passes through (2, 6) would be x = 2.

Can someone please explain how to do this problem for me?

Answer:

We always start with the x because in the alaphbet x is before y. So it says x=1 and the graph is skipping by 2 so in the middle of where the interact and beside positive 2 on the x row is where the 1 is so you keep it there for now. Now for the y you can see the middle where the interact well that is 0 so you have to keep the dot on the x place because if it said y=2 we would move it but is says 0 so we dont move it!
