The sum of two numbers is 82. The larger number is eight less then five times the smaller number. What are the numbers?
1 answer:
Answer:
The smaller Number = 15
The larger number = 67
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
The smaller number = x
The larger number = 5x - 8
The sum = 82
(5x - 8) + x = 82
5x - 8 + x = 82
6x - 8 = 82
Add eight to both sides
6x - 8 + 8 = 82 + 8
6x = 90
Divide both sides by 6
x = 90/6
= 15
Therefore,
The smaller number = x = 15
The larger number = 5x - 8
= 5(15) - 8
= 75 - 8
= 67

You gave me numbers but forgot the question. Without a question there is no answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x -3y = 5
4x + 3y = 17
2x = 22
x = 11
4(2) + 3y = 17
8 + 3y = 17
3y = 9
y = 3
(11,3)
In order to have a function we can't repeat any value in the x, therefore in order to have a function represented in the table the question mark must be 2
