X+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.
A. Put parenthesis around 12-3. This will reduce the amount you are dividing 6*5 by and give you the highest possible answer.
B. Put parenthesis around 3+4. This will simplify into 7*7, giving you the correct answer, 49.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is
y = 
← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition
x = 2 when y = 2
k = yx = 2 × 2 = 4, hence
y = 
← equation of variation
