Question

The product of two numbers is 32. The first number, x, is one-half of the second number, y. Which system of equations can be used to find the two numbers?

Answer 1

8 and 4 is your answer

y = 2x

x(y) = 32

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

xy = 32 and 2x - y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question two number have been given as x and y

Now we have to make the equations by first statement " The product of two number is 32 ."

Equation will be xy = 32 -------(1)

Second statement is "first number is one half of the second number."

Equation will be $x=\frac{y}{2}$

or 2x = y --------(2)

Therefore, to find these numbers system of equations will be

xy = 32 and 2x - y = 0
