Answer:

m + n = 15

m - 3 = n

The numbers are 9 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m + n = 15 ..... (1)

Also, from the question,

One number is three less than the other,

Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m - 3 = n ...... (2)

If desired, we can determine m and n

From equation (1)

m + n = 15

Then,

m = 15 - n ...... (3)

Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)

m - 3 = n

Then

15 - n - 3 = n

15 - 3 = n + n

12 = 2n

n = 12/2

∴ n = 6

For m, put the value of n into equation 3

m = 15 - n

m = 15 - 6

m = 9

∴ m = 9 and n = 6

Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6

so early pay
cost=70 flat rate
x=infinity
the equation would be y=70

deposit pluss
you have to pay an initial one time payment of 15 so
y=mx+15
then 4 dollars per day
4 times number of days
y=4x+15

daily pay is 6 dollars per day so 6 times number of days
y=6x



1.
a. y=70
b. y=4x+15
c. y=4x
