Let the numbers be x and y

x= y-2.... (1)
and, 2y = 16 + 4x.... (2)

putting the value of x from (1) in (2),

2y = 16 + 4x
=> 2y = 16 + 4(y-2)
=> 2y = 16 + 4y - 8
=> 2y = 8 + 4y
=> 2y - 4y = 8
=> -2y = 8
=> y =-8/2
=> y= -4

and x = -4-2 = -6

hence , in short the numbers are -2 and -4

A phone company offers two monthly plans plan A cost $9 Plus And additional 0.12 $ for each minute of calls. Plan B cost $27 plu
Alisiya [41]

Answer: They will charge same amount for 360 minutes of calls.

Step-by-step explanation:

A phone company offers two monthly plans plan A cost $9 Plus And additional 0.12 $ for each minute of calls. Plan B cost $27 plus an additional $0.07 for each minute of calls

For what amount of calling do the two plans cost the same?

Let the each minute of calls be 'x'.

So, for plan A would be

plan A cost $9 Plus And additional 0.12 $ for each minute of calls is expressed as

y_1=9+0.12x

Plan B cost $27 plus an additional $0.07 for each minute of calls is expressed as

y_2=27+0.07x

According to question, it becomes,

y_1=y_2\\\\9+0.12x=27+0.07x\\\\0.12x-0.07x=27-9\\\\0.05x=18\\\\x=\dfrac{18}{0.05}\\\\x=360

Hence, they will charge same amount for 360 minutes of calls.

Identify the equation in slope-intercept form for the line containing the point (0,7) and perpendicular to y=−5/4x+11/4. HELP PL
777dan777 [17]

To write the equation of a line I need slope and y intercept (0,y)

I have y intercept (0,7)  of +7 as written in the equation

The equation y=-5/4x + 11/4 has a slope of -5/4

To get perpendicular slope is negated reciprocal

so take -5/4 and flip it -4/5 and change the sign (in this case negative to positive)  4/5

so the new equation is y=4/5x +7 (third one)
