Let’s give these two numbers variables
Let ‘a’ be the larger number
Let ‘b’ be the smaller number
Now from the question we know:
a + b = 30 or a = 30 - b
2a - 3b = 5
Now, let’s plug the first equation into the second to find ‘b’:
2(30 - b) - 3b = 5
60 - 2b - 3b = 5
60 - 5b = 5
55 = 5b
b = 11
Now we solve for ‘a’:
a = 30 - b
a = 30 - 11
a = 19
Now the question asks for the positive difference between the two numbers, so:
a - b = ?
19 - 11 = 8
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- You would find a value of y to plug into either of the equations. For example, I chose the equation 2x - y = 6. When I set it equal to y, I got y = 2x - 6
- Now that I know what y is equal to, I plugged it into the second equation to get 5x + 10 (2x - 6) = -10
- You then would calculate for x.
- Your end result should be x = 2, which is the point that the two equations intersect
This works because the two equations are set equal to each other, making them share a common value between them.
You can also plug both of these equations into a graphing calculator, and on the graph select the command to calculate the intersection.
