According to your question, there are 2 unknown numbers mentioned. Let the 2 unknown numbers be represented by the variables x & y, then x is considered to be one of the numbers being more than y by the addition of 4, .ie. x = 4 + y --- (1) The sum of the 2 numbers is 60, i.e. x + y = 60 --- (2) To find the smaller number, we solve eqn (1) & (2) using the concept of substitution, i.e. substitute 4 + y for x in eqn (2), i.e. 4 + y + y = 60 4 + 2y = 60 2y = 60 - 4 2y = 56 y = 28 ...Ans. Recall that x is more than y by 4, then 28 is the smaller number.

Write a equation in slope intersect form for points (0,8) and (9,5)
lyudmila [28]

y = mx+b

(5-8)/(9-0) = -1/3 which is m

solve point slope to find slope intercept by using one of the points (0,8)

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-8 = -1/3(x-0)

y-8 = -1/3x

Answer: y = -1/3x + 8

Answer:

check below

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  c = 68-27 = 41

2. t = 7.9+1.5 =9.4

3. a = 21*3 = 63

4. (multiply whole equation by 8) 8r+6=7, r=1/8

5. x = 25.2/4.2 = 6

6. b = 75/15 = 5

7. A. 6C = 99

B. C = 99/6 = $16.50

The solution represents the cost of one ticket.
