Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You really don't have enough information to solve this with one answer. You want a value for y and there is no what to limit it to just 1 set of values. For example if x = 23 then
x = y + y - 3
x = 2y - 3
23 = 2y - 3 Add three to both sides
23+3 = 2y Combine
26 = 2y Divide by 2
26/2 = 2y/2 Do the division
13 = y
The smaller number is 13 - 3 = 10
Their sum is 13 + 10=23 But that answer is not unique.
====================
Suppose x = 13
13 = 2y - 3 Add 3
13 + 3 = 2y
16 = 2y
y =8
The larger number = 8
The smaller number = 5
=======================
The best I can do is give you the equation which is
x = 2y - 3
44 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 80 84 88 92 96 100
Answer:
5m - (14 • 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
pretty sure this is correct
Answer:
(2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1:
x+y=6(for the 6 times they scored)
x=-y+6
Equation 2:
7x+3y=26 (for the 7 point touchdowns, and 3 point field goals.)
7(-y+6)+3y=26(replace x with -y+6)
7y+42+3y=26(distrubite property)
-4y+42=26
-4y= -16
y= 4
Now that we know that y is equal to 4:
x+4=6
x=2
