Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write a system of equations:

The difference between two numbers is 29. Difference means one number (y) minus another number (x) equals 29.

y-x =29

If five times the smaller ( 5 times x , x is the smaller number because is the number to subtract) is subtracted from twice the larger, (2y)

The result will be one

2y-5x =1

Now, we have to multiply the first equation by 2, and subtract the second equation to the first one:

2y -2x = 58

-

2y-5x =1

__________

3x =57

Solve for x:

x =57/3 =19

Replacing the value of x on any equation:

y-x =29

y-19 =29

y = 29+19 = 48

48 (y)> 19(x)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

M=0 passing through p(-2,-2)
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The equation of line is y+2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line passing through the point (x_{1},y_{1} )and having slope  m is

y-y_{1} = m (x-x_{1}

Given slope m=0 and given point is  is (-2,-2)

y-(-2)=0(x-(-2))

y+2=0

therefore equation of the straight line is y+2=0

Therefore the straight is parallel to negative x-axis(y=-2)
