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

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = -2/3x + 4 and that passes through (–2,–2)?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:  y = 3/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:  For a perpendicular line, take the reciprocal of  "m"  and reverse the sign.

- 2/3 becomes +3/2

Then substitute the y and x values of the given coordinate into the equation and solve for "b"

y = mx + b

-2 = 3/2(-2) + b

-2 = -3 + b

-2 +3 = b

+1 = b   Substitute for b in y = (3/2)x + 1
