Hello from MrBillDoesMath

Answer:     + 4/7,   6 (13/14)

Discussion:

Let L be the larger of the two numbers and S the smaller of the two. Then the first sentence translates into this:


-6L - L = -4  =>

-7L = -4        =>          (divide both sides by -7)

L = - (-4)/(-7) = + 4/7       (*)


The second sentence translates to

2 (L + S) = 15  =>               (divide both sides by 2)

(L +S) = 15/2  =>                (subtract L from each side)

S = 15/2 - L = 15/2 - 4/7    (using (*) above)

So

S = 15*7/(2*7) - (4*2)/(7*2)       (combine over common denominator of 14)

S = 105/14 - 8/14 = 97/14 = 6 13/14

Something is crazy here!    While 2(L +S) = 15  -- check it out -- our larger number L ( =4/7) is actually smaller than the S number (6 13/14)!  Maybe I should have called them Y and X, respectively, as you suggested!

Thank you,

Mr. B

Answer:

  -35.626 < temperature < 733.928 . . . . degrees F

  (-35.626, 733.928)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to let a calculator evaluate the expression for converting °C to °F.

  -35.626 < temperature < 733.928 . . . . degrees F

  (-35.626, 733.928) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . in interval notation

_____

The given relation is C = 5/9(F -32). The inverse relation is F = 9/5C +32. That is the relation we need to use to answer this question.
