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

PLEASE HELP ME IM DESPERATE ​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - \frac{1}{2} , thus

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c , substitute (4, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 2 = - 3

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 3 ← equation of line
