ANSWER


The larger number is 18

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

Let x be the larger number and y be the smaller  number.


Then,

x+y=12--(1)


x-y=24--(2)


Let us add equation (1) and (2).


2x=36


Divide through by 2


x=18


Put x=18 in to equation (1).

This implies that,

18=y=12



y=12-18=-6

Write an equation in point-slope form and slope-intercept form for each line.
Crank
Point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1)
The slope is -3. So you just plug in what you know which is the (x1,y1). So the point slope form is y+1=-3(x-4).
The slope intercept form is y=mx+b. So you plug in the m,x, and y to solve for b. B is 11. So the slope intercept form is y=-3x+11.

The Jacksons went on a 700 mile trip. On the first day they drove 6 and 2/3 hours and on the second day the drove 5 and 3/4 hour
likoan [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of miles is 700.

On the first day, they drove 6 and 2/3 hours. We would convert 6 and 2/3 hours to improper fraction. It becomes 20/3 hours. On the second day, they drove 5 and 3/4 hours. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 23/4 hours. Total number of hours that they drove during the first two days is the sum of hours driven on the first day and hours driven on the Second day. It becomes

20/3 + 23/4 = (80 + 69)/12

= 149/12 hours
