Hey there!!

Let us take the first number as ' x '

According to the question

The second number exceeds the first number by 15

hence, the second number = x+15

The sum of both the numbers = 69

which means

x + x + 15 = 69

2x+15 = 69

Subtracting by 15 on both sides

2x + 15 - 15 = 69 - 15

2x = 54

dividing by  2 on both sides

x = 27

first number = 27

second number = 27 + 15

= 42

Hope my answer helps!

6-2x=y 14+3x=y plzzz helllllllllllllllp
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

(- \frac{8}{5}, \frac{46}{5} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the2 equations

6 - 2x = y → (1)

14 + 3x = y → (2)

Substitute y = 14 + 3x into (1)

6 - 2x = 14 + 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )

6 - 5x = 14 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 5x = 8 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = - \frac{8}{5}

Substitute x = - \frac{8}{5} into either of the 2 equations for the corresponding value of y

Substituting into (1)

y = 6 - 2(- \frac{8}{5} ) = \frac{30}{5} + \frac{16}{5} = \frac{46}{5}

solution is ( - \frac{8}{5}, \frac{46}{5} )
