The numbers are: "3" and "9" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
Let "x" represent one of the two (2) numbers.
Let "y" represent the other one of the two (2) numbers.
x = 2y + 3 ;
x + y = 12 .
__________________________
Method 1)
__________________________
x = 12 <span>− y ;
Plug this into "x" for "2y + 3 = x" ;
</span>→ 2y + 3 = 12 <span>− y ;
</span>
Add "y" to each side of the equation; & subtract "3" from each side of the equation ;
→ 2y + 3 + y − 3 = 12 − y + y <span>− 3 ;
</span>
to get: 3y = 9 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "3" ;
to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "y" ;
3y / 3 = 9 / 3 ;
y = 3 .
____________________________
Now: x = 12 − y ; Plug in "3" for "y" ; to solve for "x" ;
→ x = 12 − 3 = 9
____________________________
So; x = 9, y = 3 .
____________________________
Method 2)
____________________________
When we have:
____________________________
x = 2y + 3 ;
x + y = 12 .
____________________________
→ y = 12 − x ;
_____________________________
Substitute "(12−x)" for "y" in the equation:
" x = 2y + 3 " ;
→ x = 2(12 − x) + 3 ;
_____________________________________
Note the "distributive property of multiplication" :
_____________________________________
a(b + c) = ab + ac ;
a(b − c) = ab − ac ;
_____________________________________
As such:
_____________________________________
→ 2(12 − x) = 2(12) − 2(x) = 24 − 2x ;
_____________________________________
So; rewrite:
_____________________________________
x = 2(12 − x) + 3 ;
as:
_____________________________________
→ x = 24 − 2x + 3 ;
→ x = 27 − 2x ;
Add "2x" to each side of the equation:
→ x + 2x = 27 − 2x + 2x ;
→ 3x = 27 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "3" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
3x / 3 = 27 / 3 ;
x = 9 .
___________________________
Note: "y = 12 − x" ; Substitute "9" for "x" ; to solve for "y" ;
→ y = 12 − 9 = 3 ;
→ y = 3 .
__________________________
So, x = 9 ; and y = 3.
____________________________
The numbers are: "3" and "9" .

To check our answers:
Let us plug these numbers into the original equations;
to see if the equations hold true ; (i.e. when, "x = 9" ; and "y = 3"
_____________________________
→ x + y = 12 ;
→ 9 + 3 =? 12 ? Yes!
_____________________________
→ x = 2y + 3 ;
→ 9 =? 2(3) + 3 ?? ;
→ 9 =? 6 + 3 ? Yes!!

Answer:
hope this helps! (O>O)
Step-by-step explanation:
Well the first one would convert to
-2y= 7x-13 and the second one would be -2y=-x+11 and you solve from there (lmk if you need the steps) but your final answer would be. Y= -7/2x+ 13/2 and y=1/2x - 11/2
