Answer:
X = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
y = k X for some fixed number constant k.
-5 = k (15)
k = -5/15 = -1/3
So y = (-1/3)X
When y = 3 ---> 3 = (-1/3)X
X = -9
Let x and y be the two numbers
Saying "The sum of two numbers is 27" means x+y = 27. The term "sum" is the result of adding. So the first equation is x+y = 27
The second equation is y = x+3 where we assume that y is the larger number of the pair.
So your system of equations will be
x+y = 27
y = x+3
Use substitution to solve this system.
x+y = 27
x+( y ) = 27
x + (x+3) = 27 ... notice how y has been replaced with x+3 (since y = x+3)
x+x+3 = 27
Solve for x and then use this to find y. I'll let you finish up.
