Hello!
To solve this problem, we will use a system of equations. We will have one number be x and the other y. We will use substitutions to solve for each variable.
x+y=9
x=2y-9
To solve for the two numbers, we need to solve the top equation. The second equation shows that x=2y-9. In the first equation, we can replace 2y-9 for x and solve.
2y-9+y=9
3y-9=9
3y=18
y=6
We now know the value of y. Now we need to find x. We can plug in 6 for y in the second equation to find x.
x=2·6-9
x=12-9
x=3
Just to check, we will plug these two numbers into the first equation.
3+6=9
9=9
Our two numbers are three and six.
I hope this helps!

Answer: $4.46</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
3 containers = 6.69 dollars
3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3
1 container = 2.23 dollars
2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2
2 containers = 4.46 dollars
A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3
Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.

Standard form Ax + By = C
so
<span>(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
</span>given (5, -7) and m = -1/5
so
y + 7 = -1/5(x - 5)
-5y - 35 = x - 5
x + 5y = -30
answer
d. x + 5y = -30
