Answer:

X = 51

Y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 numbers: (Larger) Number 1 is x and Number 2 is y

The equation is x + y = 63

x = 3y +15
y = y

New equation is:

3y + 15 + y = 63

Combine like variables:

4y + 15 = 63

Solve:

4y + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15
4y = 48

Divide 4 from each side:

y = 12

To find x fill in the variables from the 'x =' equation:

x = 3y + 15
x = 3( 12) + 15
x = 51

What is the slope of this graph? −1/3 3 1/3 −3

I'm assuming there is probably a graph that goes with this problem so here is all the info I can give you with the four choices: If it is -1/3, the line will go DOWN 1, over 3 (just count on the graph) If it is 3, the line will go UP 3, over 1 If it is 1/3, the line will go UP 1, over 3 And if it it -3, it will go DOWN 3, over 1 (If the slope is 3 or -3, it would be quite steep compared to a slope of 1/3 or -1/3) Hope that helps!
