Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Small number = x - 14

Large number = x

x + x - 14 = 56

2x = 70

x = 35

Small number = 35 - 14 = 21

Large number = 35

Answer: small number = 21, big number = 35

Step-by-step explanation: let small number= x, big number= y

X+y=56

X-y =-14

Solving simultaneously adding the two equations

2x =42

X= 21

Substitute x in the first equations

21 +y =55

Y= 56-21

Y= 35

Sal's Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials. The profit on every sandwich is $2 and the profit

Changing the equation into slope form: y = mx + c, where m is the slope [gradient] and c is the y-intercept.

2x+3y=1470
3y = -2x+1470
y= - \frac{2}{3}x+ \frac{1470}{3}
y=- \frac{2}{3}x+490

The gradient is - \frac{2}{3} and y-intercept is at y=490

Graphing y=- \frac{2}{3}x+490 using slope-intercept method:
a) The slope is a negative slope. The line will go 'down hill'
b) The line must pass the point (0, 490)
c) The line will intercept the x-axis at y = 0
    0 = - \frac{2}{3}x+490
    \frac{2}{3}x = 490
    2x = 1470
    x = \frac{1470}{2}
    x = 735
    So, x-intercept is at (735, 0)

The graph of this function is shown below. The intercepts are labelled at:
y = 490
x = 735

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next month's profit equation

2x+3y=1593

Rewriting this into slope-equation form

3y = -2x+1593
y=- \frac{2}{3}+ \frac{1593}{3}
y= - \frac{2}{3}+531

The gradient, m, equals to - \frac{2}{3}
The y-intercept, c, equals to 531

The equation still has the same gradient with last month's profit equation but different y-intercept. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A linear graph show points of (0, 300) and (450, 0)

We work out the slope: 
\frac{300-0}{0-450} = \frac{300}{-450}=- \frac{20}{30}  =- \frac{2}{3}


Y-intercept at x = 0, so it's at y = 300

Equation y = - \frac{2}{3}+300
