Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
so we just make a system of equations:
x+y=36
say that x is the larger and y is the smaller
x-3=2y
so we can combine the equations and solve for x and y
re-arrange x-3=2y to be x=2y+3
x+y=36
x=2y+3
insert the value for x into x into x+y=36
2y+3+y=36
3y+3=36
y=11
now insert that back into x+y=36
11+x=36
x=25
Out of the two numbers x and y, 11 is the smaller number
Hope that helps :)
Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 2 from both sides
Simplify
Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators
Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator
Subtract 2x from both sides
Simplify
You use the formula y=mx+b, therefore you have to isolate the y
First you subtract 3x to both sides.
3x - 5y = -35
-3x -3x
Then it would be
-5y = -3x -35
Then you divide -5 on both sides to isolate the y
-5y = -3x -35
/-5 /-5 /-5
Two negatives cancel out and make a positive so it would be
Y = 3/5x + 7
